In words

Intro
BCA's Tracker S offers the same functions as the Tracker 3, but without a movement sensor or software updates. It's a lot smaller and lighter, though the display is still large and easy to read. Its marking function is called Signal Suppression, which automatically deactivates after 60 seconds. The 'Big Picture' function shows the distance in all directions of all transmitting devices within detection range. The auto-reverse search-to-send function kicks in if you go more than five minutes without pressing any of the buttons.
