As the folks below said, this is an avalanche transceiver, not some James Bond gadget. The only "vitals" beacon I have seen is the Mammut/Barryvox, but that beast is $450. As was also said below, the DOES handle multiple victims. There are several methods to multiple searches with the Tracker, so be sure to read the supplemental info provided and practice!!

This beacon handles multiple signals just fine - i'm not sure what the other reviewer is referring to. It doesn't deal with vitals, though i've never seen a beacon that does. It is a specialized tool, best kept simple.
