Product Descriptions
Eastern Mountain Sports Description: Simply the easiest avalanche beacon to learn and the fastest to use. When in avalanche-risk areas, members keep their Trackers in transmit. In case of avalanche, the non-affected members switch their units to receive mode and swiftly hone in on the victim. By use of dual antenna and digital technology, five directional lights point out which direction to travel. Distance display indicates how far the target is. Dual antennas are mounted perpendicular in an X-pattern, allowing you to precisely pinpoint a buried receiver. Unit weighs 11 ounces; measures 5.75 x 3.25 x 1 in. Includes combination shoulder/waist strap. Note: Only one unit per purchase; two units are needed for the system to function.

Backcountry Description: The Backcountry Access Tracker DTS avalanche beacon can greatly reduce the amount of time spent pinpointing, probing, and digging during an avalanche rescue. In 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.

BUY!

This little beauty is so easy to use and wear, it might as well be my Ninja Turtles blinking-light t-shirt I've had since '92. Definitely an essential addition to your backcountry arsenal. Strap is super comfortable and it is fully overly waterproof (I'm all over that test).



The standard

Easy, accurate, well respected. I highly recommend this for all levels of backcountry travelers. The ONLY beacon I like more is the Pieps DPS standard.
