mountainsandsound Posted October 2, 2014 Posted October 2, 2014 I think this is the season I'll finally buy my own beacon. I have almost exclusively borrowed or rented the Tracker 2 when I needed a beacon, and I'm pretty convinced this is the make/model I want. I have some time before I need one and I'm ready to wait it out for a good sale this fall. What would be a good sale price for a new Tracker 2? Quote
ryanb Posted October 3, 2014 Posted October 3, 2014 Below $240. Maybe a bit less with the tracker 3 coming out. Rei 20% off coupons have worked on avi beacons in past years though you may have to convince the staff to check as PLBs are usually not included. There are some other brand beacons on sierra trading post right now too. Quote
zeroforhire Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 if you want the best deal going in beacons right now get this one. Way better than the tracker in my opinion. Easier to use and more accurate. Offer them $90... I got one last year for that. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Ortovox-S1-Avalanche-Beacon-Digital-Transceiver-Backcountry-Ski-Snow-No-Harness-/381035618282?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item58b77e1fea Quote
Jim Posted November 6, 2014 Posted November 6, 2014 A group of us tested several beacons last winter in the Wallowas while on a BC trip. Buried - the Tracker II came out on top for precision and range - besting the Orthtovox S1. Your results may vary Quote
