Strengths:
Reliable. Simple.
Approved range.
Wear horizontally, which is an advantage for many, maybe ffa girls.
Weaknesses:
A little higher threshold to get started with than digital, but you have to practice a lot, otherwise it's no good idea to throw out several thousand buckles on such a device.
Personally, I think that you should glance blank in the arrow and just go on the pipes and the number of lights. Then you can keep the transcriber in the same direction all the time, which significantly shortens the time to find the buried transmitter.
Summary:
I've been training a lot with this transciver (regularly for 7 years) and now I've also taught my sister and my girlfriend to use it. In addition, I have trained a lot of comrades using digital transmitters (ffa ARVA and M1,2). My experience is that the threshold to get started with this is a bit higher, but then it's definitely more easy to use at multi-page search.
An interesting detail is that there are many that mention the importance of investing in a transcriber and the importance of not messing up - ie, to get a more expensive digital. However, I want to contradict that I think it's wiser to spend more time practicing with their transcovers than to worry about exactly what one uses. How many times have you been training this year?
Barryvoxen I have not had the opportunity to test yet and may well be a bit better, but I prefer to have as few functions as possible and practice as much as possible.
As I wrote above, this is one of the most beautiful transcivers to wear, but this is of course a flavor. However, it should be emphasized that, for example, Barryvoxen and the Tracker are in their "holsters" much thicker and more difficult to wear. It's definitely a disadvantage to own a transciver that you would rather not wear ...

Strengths:
You can find infinitely many "victims" without problems at the same time using the right search system - everyone can learn! You can search the same way as with a digital induction search.
Weaknesses:
You have to practice something with it - nothing for the guy who wants a cool gadget. (it's not that damn pretty anyway but be a fan it's GRYM)
Summary:
Dirty transa. Not optimal maybe, but still. Much easier to find multiple buriels than with a digital. The digital just flashes ohh shows arrows in all directions if it's more than 4. By the way, barryvox is a hybrid digital and analogue which is absolutely superb. You can choose how it works and switch between modes whenever you want

Strengths:
A very competent transceiver! if you exercise!
Weaknesses:
May be difficult to hear the speaker if you do not have ear piercings.
Summary:
Buy a digital if you do not work in the avalanched terrain. With digital I do not mean half-life things like M1 and M2 but for example Barryvox or similar.

a transceiver that always works. stable, easy to handle but requires practice. Many here suggest that you buy a digit, but if so, you can lock it to a signal or you will be crazy when it jumps between. What is good with the anaologist is that you constantly hear how many people are crazy then you can choose which one to search for.

Works, but no special-deluxe features. Feel like a digital is preferable if you want to buy new.

A good analog transceiver that looks nice on the body (tightened as a three-point belt). Two advantages are that it is automatically activated when you turn it on and that the batteries last for a very long time. I myself have used most of the day in a season and still have battery power left.
After some training with the transceiver you can get into very low search times. The only time I've known that I'd rather have a digital device is when several different people will be located at the same time. If the signals come from approximately the same distance, it can be difficult to distinguish them. This is not an unreasonable situation. In fact, more than half of all avalanches bury more than one person. But even this becomes much easier with exercise.
But it's important to keep in mind that the most important thing to save someone quickly in a low-end situation is not whether you have an analogue or digital transceiver, but how well you can handle the one you have. One of the users of an analogue transceiver is looking for a low-end victim far faster than an above-mentioned digital user. So no matter what transceiver you choose to buy, be sure to practice!
I also recommend always bringing a pair of earpieces to the transceiver. You usually choose to practice in good weather conditions, but in bad weather it may be difficult to perceive the sound signals. This is true of all transceivers.

Workhorse. Good and simple function. Feels a bit like a Volvo - not particularly cool with working well.

Very good, I think, take a little battery, sit well on the body. And then turning on automatically when you take it is a big plus. For example, Tracker DTS and Barryvox do not.
Then it was faster to find my F1 transmitter than with Barryvox last time I tested, but it may be a lot to the user. If you practice it, an analog works as well as digital. However, mine is an extended version of F1, with lights flashing. Good if it's stormy so the sound is hard to hear.

Good and functional. No frills with strange features or so, but I still prefer digital trancivers. Put the extra money on something easy to use !!! But no matter what tranciver you get, it's not the tranciver that saves your life. There are some little gray behind the forehead and exercise in how to use the equipment.

As said an old classic. Sorry, not digital. Therefore, a lot of exercise is needed to be effective. So I advise you to add an extra slant and instead buy a digital transceiver. Who wants to stand there when the avalanche has gone and graced that you were stubborn. It is an important security detail and can save lives. Price about 1500. Add the extra slant and buy a digital.
