Why We Love the Tracker S Avalanche Beacon
The Tracker S Avalanche Beacon by Backcountry Access (BCA) is a fantastic choice for backcountry users. This beacon is a simplified version of BCA's popular Tracker 3 Transceiver, making it more accessible to a wider range of outdoor enthusiasts. Despite its simplified design, the Tracker S still delivers outstanding performance with its reliable triple antenna system, providing a search range of up to 50 meters.
One impressive feature of the Tracker S is its Signal Suppression mode. This mode allows users to suppress a signal once the fine search has started, enabling them to quickly move on to the next victim in multiple burial scenarios.
The Tracker S differs from the Tracker 3 in two ways. Firstly, it does not include the motion-sensing auto-revert feature. Secondly, its software can't be upgraded. These are the only differences between the two models.
