selling my original tracker.

it is in excellent shape but past it’s serviceable life per BCA. It also only has two antennas rather than 3 which is less precise than modern beacons. this is all to say that i do not consider this to be an adequate life saving device. however, it could still be useful as a test beacon or for practice situations. it could be good to use for your pet if you like to take your dog in the backcountry. it could maybe be interesting as a backup or spare in the car, but i am not sure about those scenarios. let’s say someone forgets a beacon, do you use this or give it to that person to dig you out? it’s an ethical dilemma and i am going to replace it for a new personal one next winter. 

that said, if it has use to you i am asking 50 + ship. last i tested it it worked fine to search and receive. batteries always taken out at the end of winter so no corrosion there and it includes the chest harness.
