Anybody have a broken BCA Tracker DTS? Need Parts

[plurpimpin]

I was wondering if anybody has a broken BCA tracker DTS beacon they might want to get rid of? I dropped mine unpacking the truck from a tour yesterday and the black plastic case on the back broke exposing the electronics. It still works perfectly so I was thinking I might be able to just swap the back from a broken one if I can find one. I'd rather not have to buy a new beacon if possible since it's still 100% functional and just needs a case part. BCA doesn't do repairs or sell spare parts so I'm turning to Gear Swap.

I have one with a dodgy on-off switch that I reserve for practicing, but I'd part with it for $20 shipped.

You sure?

Range tested in search and transmit?

Highly likely the ferrite antennas are damaged from that kind of hit.

2 foot drop to driveway? What happens to them when you're getting thrashed in a slide down the side of a mountain? The plastic case just cracked where the screws attach, its still technically intact it's just that the screws don't have anything to catch to hold the two halves of the clamshell together if that makes sense.

I knew I'd get this response though so DISCLAIMER: I take full responsibility for the functionality of my beacon. I will test it after repairing and if there are any doubts it will be retired to practice duty only. As it sits I can't use it for practice though because it's not waterproof.

Edit: The more I think of it though I'll prolly just try to fix it and use for practice. Seems like a good excuse to upgrade.

They'll give you credit towards a new unit on a non-warranty issue like that. Contact BCA

Yeah they said $200 for a tracker 3 with trade in so screw it I'm gonna just do that. I've been wanting an excuse to upgrade anyway.

That's what my wife just did. Worth it.

They replaced my out of warranty one with the same problem, for free.

Of course, my son lost it, along with the key to the sled. So now I'm looking to get another BCA product.

I have one. Broken battery hatch latch. Otherwise working condition. Trade for beer money. PM if interested.
