Backcountry Access Tracker DTS beacon
BackCountry Access has a passion for the road not traveled. Their line of Backcountry safety gear includes shovels, probes, their unique line of Stash backpacks and the revolutionary Tracker avalanche beacon. BCA’s gear will help you stay safe to ski another day.

Description of Backcountry Access Tracker DTS beacon:
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.

Easy to Use, But Some Drawbacks   07-15-03
Jonathan Shefftz (69): rank
For a single burial, or a multiple burial where you can turn off each beacon as it is found, this beacon is amazingly fast for a novice, and gets even faster with more practice. However, multi burials in which each beacon stays on as it is found can be very tricky and require significant practice. Also, although the shorter range (as compared to analog beacons) is almost always not a problem, occasionally it can interfere w/ the search if the beacons are aligned such that the range is at its absolute minimum. Membrane buttons can be a bit hard to press if wearing very bulkly winter gloves.

Easy to use, comfortable harness. Unless you're a professional, I can't imagine using another beacon.

Couldn't ask for more in a beacon, easy to use, good instructions, took it out on a 3 day backcountry skiing course and had no problems with our beacon search drills.
