Backcountry Access Tracker3 Avalanche Beacon

The triple-antenna system allows the beacon to receive signals on X, Y, and Z axes simultaneously. This eliminates the 'null' spots often found in older single or dual-antenna models, providing a more precise and stable signal lock during the fine search phase.

Big Picture mode displays all signals within the beacon's range, giving you a bird's-eye view of the scene. It is designed to help rescuers assess the number of victims and their approximate locations before committing to a specific search path.

When you have located one victim, Signal Suppression allows you to temporarily 'mute' that signal. This prevents the beacon from locking onto the same victim repeatedly, letting you move on to search for the next signal without interference.

The Tracker3 provides approximately 200 hours of battery life in transmit mode and 50 hours in search mode using three AAA batteries. It is best practice to start every day in the backcountry with fresh batteries, regardless of the remaining life.

Yes, the Tracker3 is widely considered one of the most intuitive beacons on the market. Its straightforward digital interface and clear directional arrows make it easier to learn and use under the high-stress conditions of an actual rescue.

The Tracker3 features a digital search range of 50 meters. While this is standard for modern beacons, remember that your search strip width should be narrower than the maximum range to ensure you don't miss a signal.
