Which new beacon in 2020?
Looking to pickup a new beacon this year as my SO joins me in the backcountry. Currently have a T3 I've been happy with for past 3 seasons. She will either take over the T3 as I upgrade, or take on the new beacon.
Use case: ~30 days of backcountry use per season. Around 30 days of volunteer patrolling (not paid, so not running routes) with it on. And whatever other days get thrown in there.
I'm leaning towards keeping it simple: either Tracker S or Black Diamond/PIEPs Recon are currently at top of list. Remember hearing some issues with the BDs but can't recall if they were fixed or user error.
Or convince me that the Barryvox is worth $150-$170 extra. (Sadly no deals on Mammut through patrol.)
