Backcountry Access Tracker DTS beacon

Backcountry Access Tracker DTS beacon description

The Backcountry Access Tracker DTS avalanche beacon can greatly reduce the amount of time spent pinpointing, probing, and digging during an avalanche rescue. For 2005, the easiest beacon to use just got easier. In 1997, the Tracker DTS revolutionized the transceiver market by introducing digital, dual antenna technology. Since then, it has become the world's best-selling transceiver. With directional lighting and digital distance readings, the guesswork of finding buried victims is eliminated. To celebrate the 10th anniversary of BCA, the Tracker is outfitted with a new strap that's as easy to use as the beacon itself. A series of improvements make the Tracker even more bombproof than before. As proof, it now comes with a 5-year limited warranty. Practice with your beacon often to keep you and your backcountry partners as safe as possible.

Bottom Line: Easy to use. Hard to break.

The reviews that I read about the tracker nailed it's performance. It's fast and very accurate. My time locating my friends beacon over 35 meters was only 2-3 minutes. I wish my friend would sell his outdated beacon and by the Tracker. That's NO joke!

This Beacon is very easy to use. It is so straight forward and easy to use. I have practiced with it many times and hopefully I will never truly need to use it. The Tracker is the perfect introduciton device to backcountry riding.
