Questions & Answers

Will the hardness factor be considered?

A harness is included with every transceiver. This is more secure than keeping it in your pocket, but you can use it in either case.

What country did it come from?

I don't recall, but they are, in my opinion, among the best on the market.

Is it necessary for the second avalanche beacon device to be a tracker 2 or tracker 3, or can it be from a different manufacturer? 's gadget.?

Regardless of brand or model, all avalanche beacons communicate at the same frequency.

What makes the bca tracker 3 superior to the bca tracker 2, especially considering the price difference of $215? Only a smidgeon better in the description. ?

I haven't tried the Tracker 2, but I believe the Tracker 3 is superior due to the multiple antennas. You can also isolate one signal over the other when there are multiple burials/signals. The digital distance readout is extremely useful, and the audible beeps become more frequent as you get closer to your target, making it even easier to locate the burial. I hope this has been of assistance. Whichever option you choose, make sure to practice, practice, practice.

Selected User Reviews For Backcountry Access Tracker 3

After receiving a faulty device, I purchased a new Tracker 3 and used it for two months

3/5

During an AIARE avalanche rescue and training course, I used the beacon. The beacon failed miserably in a side-by-side range beacon test to detect a transmitting beacon from a distance of 20 meters. The distance is 50 meters. The device locked on to a target within a 20-meter range, but the range test was repeated several times, including resetting the device (off/on), and it still failed to detect a transmitting beacon at the manufacturer's maximum range of 40 meters. The manufacturer will be notified.

Work has come to an end

3/5

After two months of use, the beacon stopped working. The beacon was not broken or dropped; it simply stopped functioning. I was extremely dissatisfied, and I missed the return window.

Great user-friendly product; I use it when snowmobiling in the mountains, and I hope I never have to use it

It's a good size and it's simple to operate.

Happy

5/5

The signal suppression on the 3 is far superior to that of the 2.

Simple to work with

5/5

Simple to work with. It is light in weight. I had no idea I was wearing it until it was pointed out to me. The LED light is bright enough to see in daylight when you're on transmit. In addition, the directional symbols are simple to understand.
