Unsafe glitch

Unsafe glitch
I bought the tracker 3 last year and have been very happy with it. Simple and reliable to use and light weight. Reliable until it stopped transmitting a signal without warning, only searching even when on the transmit function. I take great care of my gear, and always take the batteries out of my transceiver at the end of winter. This is my second BCA beacon, but after this spooky experience that totally compromises the safety of myself and the group I'm with combine with the disappointing customer service of BCA I'll never feel safe or happy using their beacons again.
Thank you for your feedback
