Backcountry Access Tracker DTS Beacon
The Simplest Beacon to Use

Ranked #181 - Avalanche Safety

This is the only beacon I will ever use. It has a great easy on/off dial and a simple search/ transmit button that really limits user error. Also, the simple directional light monitor accompanied by the audio beep and the digital distance reader makes finding your ski buddy quick and simplifies an often daunting experience.
Simply, the Tracker is just a well designed no frills easy to use easy to learn beacon.
