Avalanche Transceiver
Backcountry Access Tracker DTS (457 kHz Digital Transceiving System).

I bought this new in 2004 and have used it in three or four expeditions. Selling it due to my inactive climbing career now that I have a family!

Retails for $550.

A great transceiver, essential safety device for all mountaineering or snow work, easy to use, almost as good as new. There is a slight sticky patch on the front where I removed my name label. Comes with straps, and original owner's manual.

Get yourself a bargain, and stay safe out there!
