Why We Love the Tracker3 Avalanche Beacon
The Tracker series from BCA has long been a favorite among backcountry travelers. The Tracker3 takes the best features of its predecessor, the Tracker2, and improves upon them. With its user-friendly interface and added enhancements, this beacon ensures optimal performance and ease of use even in the most stressful rescue situations.
One of the most notable upgrades in the Tracker3 is the addition of a third antenna, which greatly increases its range and allows for faster beacon signal detection. This means that you can quickly locate and assess the situation, saving precious time during an avalanche rescue operation.
The digital display of the Tracker3 provides essential information such as directional arrows and distance readout in meters. This allows you to identify the direction and proximity of the buried transmitter, making it easier to pinpoint the exact location and commence a targeted search using a probe.
In case of multiple victims, the Tracker3's Signal Suppression and Big Picture modes prove to be invaluable. These advanced features enable you to determine the number of transmitters in the area and suppress the closest signal once located. This allows you to efficiently move on to the next victim, while your partners begin probing and digging.
