For multiple searches the Mammut beacon is the fastest.During my assistan ski guide course in canada(acmg)the mammut beacon found multiple victims the fastest compared to other brands.Note the heart finder only works with other mammut beacons.Eighty percent of the student owned one,and by the end of the course I bought one,along with a few others.Like any thing you will have to practice with this tool to become proficient.It took me a while to get comfortable with it.I owned an orthovox before this.(the blue original)There still is a few people who are fast with other models,but most have been using there beacon twenty or more years!
