ashw_justin Posted May 22, 2004 Share Posted May 22, 2004 I didn't want to advertize for REI, but in the interest of safety: http://www.rei.com/online/store/ProductDisplay?storeId=8000&catalogId=40000008000&productId=7854266&parent_category_rn=10826193 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eternalX Posted May 27, 2004 Share Posted May 27, 2004 Man...those are some good prices. What's the general consensus on the X1? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cracked Posted May 27, 2004 Share Posted May 27, 2004 Isn't the X1 at the lower end of performance? I'd spend the cash for a high-end unit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eternalX Posted May 28, 2004 Share Posted May 28, 2004 I ended up buying the tracker. YAY! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Crash Posted May 29, 2004 Share Posted May 29, 2004 I ended up buying the tracker. YAY! Good choice (I have a Barryvox myself but both are great, and the Tracker will give you a signal a bit sooner than a Barryvox used only in digital mode). The X1 is not a good choice from the info available on the Web. When it came out it seriously malfunctioned. It may be fixed now, but you can't tell which version of software a beacon is running. Now go get some friends and practice, and get some avalanche education if you haven't already (a level 1 class is good, and Bruce Tremper's book is a mine of info). The best case is that you won't use that beacon or that big-ass metal shovel of yours, and that can only happen through learning about the snowpack and avalanche danger. drC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OlympicMtnBoy Posted June 3, 2004 Share Posted June 3, 2004 So, with all these going on sale now, does that mean we'll see a new batch out next season? I'm waiting for them all to shrink like GPS's and cell phones and stuff. I think a Tracker at 1/2 the size and weight would be pretty nifty.
