Is the Tracker II that you have in stock the updated one with the new software that doe snot freeze? As you know, the Jackson Hole Ski Patrol had problems with the units freezing up, and returned them all. The company says that there is a software fix, and that they have been shipping newer versions recently (post January). Are the ones Bacountry.com has in stock now the updated version?

BCA took care of me, free shipping both ways and quick service. If you get one with the old software contact BCA

If you buy it and get it and it is not (which I don;t think would be the case) you can always send it back, call bc.com up and i'm sure they will get you set up on free return shipping if it's not the newest software update! to check for your self when you get the beacon: disconnect and reconnect one battery while the unit is off. After displaying “t2,” the unit will then display the software version. If the display reads “r04,” then you have the most recent software. This software has been included in all Tracker2 units shipped since late December.
