When it pauses I&#39;m usually not moving unduly fast nor am I flipping the beacon around or moving/holding it strange. This has become very frustrating and sometimes can slow me down considerably during practice if it happens 4 or 5 times as it has. Is this just how the beacon operates? If so I&#39;m selling it and getting the T2 or a Mammut. I mostly ski B/C and don&#39;t need to stare at my beacon flashing SE at me when someone actually is buried. question_136287 Tue, 03 Nov 2009 18:38:59 GMT http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/BCA0066/Backcountry-Access-Stash-Pack-976cu-in.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_132585#question_132585 Backcountry Access Stash Pack - 976cu in<br /><br />what is the torso length for this pack question_132585 Fri, 16 Oct 2009 13:24:09 GMT http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/BCA0066/Backcountry-Access-Stash-Pack-976cu-in.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_132584#question_132584 Backcountry Access Stash Pack - 976cu in<br /><br />what is the torso length for this pack question_132584 Fri, 16 Oct 2009 13:22:40 GMT http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Backcountry-Access-Tracker-DTS-Beacon/BCA0018M.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_131994#question_131994 Backcountry Access Tracker DTS Beacon<br /><br />Any news on the new model?

Preferably vertically on the pack? Sometimes they will fit like a snowboard, but other times the bindings get in the way. I have an Arcteryx Silo 30 that carries them ok, but it is wearing out. Just wondering if this pack would be a good replacement? question_125377 Wed, 02 Sep 2009 19:02:24 GMT http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Backcountry-Access-Tracker-DTS-Freeride-Package/BCA0101M.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_122981#question_122981 Backcountry Access Tracker DTS Freeride Package<br /><br />What is the weld strength/ type on the shovel, specifically where the handle connects to the Shovel? I know G3 has a shovel with a double weld where handle and shovel connect which makes extremely durable and strong. Does this have that?<br /><br />Also, is the Tracker DTS a good beacon for someone just getting into backcountry trips and avalanche terrain? what is the usage like? Easy to understand and learn, or hard and not effective? Basically is it easy to familiarize and become confident in using with practice? Thanks! question_122981 Tue, 18 Aug 2009 15:48:27 GMT http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Backcountry-Access-Tracker-DTS-Beacon/BCA0018M.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_119473#question_119473 Backcountry Access Tracker DTS Beacon<br /><br />What is the transmitting frequency?

I&#39;m wondering just how heavy these Trekkers are going to be. Will it be any lighter than my Hellbent + Duke setup? How heavy are they, in and of themselves? Can&#39;t find tech specs. I&#39;d like to use them with the Sickbirds. question_99936 Mon, 06 Apr 2009 12:15:38 GMT http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Backcountry-Access-Alpine-Trekker-Adaptors/BCA0001M.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_97110#question_97110 Backcountry Access Alpine Trekker Adaptors<br /><br />My cousin ski&#39;s with telemark ski&#39;s, bindings and boots. I would like to try this and I want to know what I need to buy. I&#39;ve been skiing for over twenty years and the old down hill boots just hurt and I would like to try something different.

If I flip it to vertical, it seems to self correct. In practice today, my friend&#39;s Mammut Pulse pointed directly to the beacon signal while standing beside him, mine pointed in the opposite direction. What gives? I won&#39;t start searching uphill, of course, but I don&#39;t want to waste anytime. Give me a few suggestions.Thanks.... question_95494 Sun, 15 Mar 2009 19:36:48 GMT http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/BCA0066/Backcountry-Access-Stash-Pack-976cu-in.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_84562#question_84562 Backcountry Access Stash Pack - 976cu in<br /><br />How comfortable is this on a ski lift?
