Comments about Backcountry Access Tracker DTS Avalanche Transceiver:

When it comes to avalanche transceivers, the value of simplicity and reliability cannot be overstated. If you ever need to use this thing in a real situation, the last thing you want is to have to review how to use it. This is why I love this beacon. BCA has made it as simple as possible without sacrificing any functional attributes. The popularity of this beacon is warranted, and these are just a few of the reasons.

Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments about Backcountry Access Tracker DTS Avalanche Transceiver:

I'm just getting into backcountry skiing and got this transceiver based on recommendations from guides and reviews. It's easy to use, fairly compact and one of the best deals out there. Hopefully I just wear it and never truly use it except in practice buries.

[...] On a recent trip to Mt.Washington, N.H, I was pleased to see the Tuckerman Ravine volunteer patrol uses the Tracker. If it stands up to their use, it will easily take the usual B/C use !

Great Beacon
By telemarkskier from Salt Lake City, UT on 9/19/2006
Pros:
ease of use
Cons:
transmission range

Comments about Backcountry Access Tracker DTS Avalanche Transceiver:

I have used this beacon for two years in the backcountry. It preformed as well, if not better than other beacons in a couple of Avi classes and in routine practice sessions. When I first got the beacon I was stoked about it because it was easier to use than my analog beacon (so my wife could use it). My wife loves it because it is easy to use.

My only wish is that the beacon had a greater range. Other beacons pick up a signal faster. Once you get a signal, burial location is farily quick and easy. As with all beacons, practice is really important and can greatly influence location times. There are a lot of people in the Wasatch range with older analog beacons that are really practiced and fast.

I look forward to trying out the new three channel beacons from Barryvox, Pieps, and Ortovox this year. [...]
