If it's such a simple thing (as it appears to be in ANH) then why was it
a) such a surprise the First Order found them so quickly
b) such a bid deal to shut down the tracker
The whole premise of the movie is that the Resistance can't get away because they can be tracked.
If Vader could find Leia so easily in ANH without a tracker, then why do they suddenly need a tracker to follow the Resistance now, and why would it make a difference when Fin and Rose shut it down?

One thing too remember
The Empire could basically track ships through hyperspace.
In ANH, they planted a tracker on the Falcon which went through hyperspace and arrived at Yavin.
In AOTC, Obiwan planted a tracker on Slave One and then tracked him to Geonosis.
Maybe the First order figured out a way to track through engine signatures or something.
I tend to think that its a minor detail, the premise isn't great though.
