First, thanks for posting; don't be hard on yourself - everyone can improve! As others said, I think you did many things right.
On beacon specifics: I also have some negative observations about the Trackers, and my Barryvox Pulse seems to outperform them in the group drills I've done - on both range and accuracy.
One more interesting point: last year we had some cases of new Trackers switch from Search to Transmit in the middle of a search. One case was with a lady who was in Search but was just skinning after someone else and not looking at her beacon. All of a sudden I was seeing more victims. I figured out it was her by the distance and told her to check her beacon, she didn't believe me at first but was pretty surprised when she looked at it

That's a setting that you can change. It switches back to transmit after 5 min or so if it set up that way in case you get buried by a slide while searching.
