Couloir: "Though many other beacons have copied the Tracker's revolutionary dual-antenna, microprocessor driven design, none have been able to match its response time. Move the beacon and within a signal cycle (second) it has figured out the relative change in the flux line and points the new way to go. While I still like real time audio signals, this is a superb execution of an asynchronous audio beep. The closer you get, the more beeps you hear. . . .While the range can be a liability when searching large paths, it seems to more than make up for this by yielding fast, accurate searches once the signal is obtained, especially considering this is possible with relatively little practice. The short range is a result of a wide receiver bandwidth, which, though it restricts range, is one of the few beacons that will easily pick up old beacons that have drifted out of spec. . . .One more thing: when you get close to a horizontally buried beacon it is common to encounter a "spike." Don't worry, that means you're getting close, and is also a clue to consider tilting the beacon sideways to search vertically. Though it isn't standard practice, the fact that Tracker continues to provide directional information, even at close range, allows it to be used for searching in the vertical plane, a technique that can help with knowing where to probe."

Skiing magazine: "The Tracker was the first digital beacon. It's simple to use, power up quickly, and automatically runs a diagnostic battery test. Gripes: Bulkier and heavier than others. Props: The loud audio signal combined with the LED array makes it easy to use, even for beginners."
