Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

BCA Tracker / avalanche transceiver hardware failure

 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead
Hi all
anyone had a problem with the on/off switch on their tracker?
Mine broke.... was turning it off at lunch, and the switch sheared off.
Was more than a little annoyed, as unit is only 4 months / 3 trips old.

( I can still move the contact which is under the switch to turn it on, but not confident that it would remain on when in use.... clearly less than ideal)

Will be sending back under warranty, assuming I can find the paperwork.

Has anyone else observed this problem? With other units? Any issues with warranty claims?

Happened to a friend of mine shortly after he bought it and they changed it no problem.

hamilton, wouldn't worry too much about paperwork, which country did you buy it in, if the UK then the distributor is very good at sorting any issue with any of the products they work with

Happened to my bro 1st trip with it. Fortunately it sheered off in the on position so he just removes the batteries at the end of the day.

Not a good track record for a safety critical bit of kit

Exactly the same thing happened to mine, and it was only a couple of months old. I bought it from FaceWest and they exchanged it no problem and very quickly - I didn't even send them the receipt. This was two years ago and have had no probs with the new one, or with the older one that we already had.
