These transceivers have three antennas to resolve "
spikes" and
have the ability to "mark" (i.e., suppress) a signal during a multiple burial search. In terms of prices and
features, these beacons are targeted toward the mid-range market.
The Tracker4, Tracker3 and Tracker S can "suppress" only one signal at a time and for only 60 seconds. The ARVA Neo Pro, Black Diamond Recon, Mammut Barryvox, Ortovox 3+, and Pieps Powder have very similar features, including the ability to suppress more than one signal. These transceivers differ in how well they perform the core functions and in variations in their reception ranges, displays, controls, harnesses, prices, etc.
