The BCA Tracker 2 and check around for prices. Vendors on here have great prices.

Just did a beacon test with zacstracs at the rescue workshop on Sunday and found out that my tracker 2 has the worst range out of all the other brands. It's really easy to use though.

I bought the Pieps DSP for $349 and love it. Great unit.

Got a pieps dsp. Doesn't cost much more then the others but works a lot better. Do you want one to just say you have one or do you want to buy one that if you need it, it will work well. Have you taken a field course lately. It can show you the difference 100-150 dollars can make.

I used the BCA Tracker 2 last year (rented) and it is easy to use. I bought one this year and went with the Ortovox Patroller Digital (). It's stupid easy to use and understand, and the price was right (I got it on sale for $200 at Martin's Motorsports West, and I think they are regular $290).

The ortovox 3 is the one with the recall on it right now I think. Check into it before you buy.

Pieps dsp is the best one I have owned so far we test them every ride and u can't hide from me lol

 

[T-team]

There is no recall. It's anything outside North America. See sticky on snowmobile chat

I wonder if that new pieps is out yet? The one with the gps in it?

Pieps Vector! I was wondering the same thing, I have a Tracker 1 and would like to upgrade. I'm thinking that this new pieps will be more readily available and cheaper next year, so I may hold off!

Pieps DSP - great beacon

 

[gibsons]

pieps as well.

 

[Doof]

Pieps DSP here also, it's an excellent beacon. Here's a link comparing some of the top ranked avalanche beacons.

i have the mammut element and it seems to work great has multiple beacon search and is very easy to use
head to head against a tracker 2 it works way better was able to find the second beacon in close proximity in seconds

 

[neilsleder]

I got the Mammot element and so far I like it. Super easy one button use and has multiple person feature.

mamut barryvox element works well for me, muliple burials, sends u to the closest beacon, mark it and then go to the next. etc. great range easy to use. need more practice though.

seen a couple of the ortrovox +3 beacons used in the field, they had internal operating problems, me i'd stay away from them if my life was on the line.

barryvox, pieps would be the beacons i would seriously look at. tracker beacons have alot of sales hype on easy to use, they are not. lack range and have trouble in multiple searches.



NO MATTER WHAT BEACON YOU GET PRACTICE LOTS,

then PRACTICE some more, till operating is second nature

your riding bud will thank you if you do.

otherwise you'll be wearing a suit to your buds funeral.
