Backcountry Access Tracker DTS Beacon
5 years = Done
By Michael Kern
Ranked #368 - Avalanche Safety
July 20, 2009
This beacon is great and easy to use but I do question the reliability. Mine just hit 5 years and died. Not sure if anyone else has had these problems but I have to say I was very disappointed. I looked at several other beacons but have decided to wait to see what the Tracker 2 looks like and how it performs. Heard it was on delay b/c they could not get the new builds to be reliable, hopefully they can get it together.
