Backcountry Access Tracker's new harness system and user-friendly tracking system speeds up the response time of finding those caught in an avalanche. Two units are required for use; each person in a party should carry a unit for the best chance of rescue in the event of an avalanche. Tracker DTS transceiver uses a multi-dimensional antenna system to locate buried transmitters, eliminating user signal-interpretation errors. Lights indicate the direction of the signal; simply rotate like a compass and proceed as arrow lights indicate. Numeric distance display shows approximate distance to buried transmitter; pinpoint search loudspeaker provides reinforcement to visual clues. Holster harness system allows the unit to be easily removed; lanyard ensures unit won't be lost. Operates on 457 kHz frequency and is fully compatible with other 457 kHz units; functions as a transmitter and receiver. Unit performs automatic performance diagnostic testing lights, transmit and receive functions and battery level each time it's turned on. Oversized buttons are easy to operate with gloves on; buttons, full gasket around battery box and unit protect against wet-weather conditions. Uses three AAA-size alkaline batteries (included) which provide a minimum life of 250 hours in transmit mode; 50 hours in receive mode. |
