What I don't like about the Mammoth Barryvox Avalanche Transceiver is the retail price, $ 550.00 , talk about overkill so I went out and bought a "BCA TRACKER 4 "and it has LED READOUT which is 10 time's easier to see as well as looking for another transceiver that's buried.The Barryvox goes into so much detail which I found it harder to use whereas the BCA TRACKER 4 is 1,000 time's easier to understand,it gets to the point alot faster and is $ 150.00 less.

Your preference is valid but the regular barryvox is nowhere near $550, more like $390 ish in the states which is actually $10 cheaper than the BCA tracker 4. Are you looking at the barryvox S which is $550? The BCA tracker 4 is more in league with the regular Mammut Barryvox (no "S") and they are also a very similar price, whereas the Barryvox S is a more complex device with added features so it is naturally going to be harder to fully understand all the extra functionality. Also, the barryvox S does have a backlit screen. Again, your preference on usability is valid, but it seems like you are comparing two different tiers of beacons.
