The Backcountry Access (BCA) Tracker 3 beacon has found itself nestled among the pages of FREESKIER’s Buyer’s Guide each year since its 2013 release. The beacon—which is 20-percent lighter than its Tracker predecessors—utilizes three antennas in an instantaneous real-time display. In multiple burial scenarios, big picture mode exhibits each signal’s distance and direction while the transceiver’s signal suppression component conceals a found victim’s transmission, allowing the user to focus on the next indicator.
