At 5.4 oz and topping just 4.5 inches, the ResQLink+ is both a small and buoyant Personal Locator Beacon. Small enough to be carried in your pocket, clipped to a backpack or stored inside an inflatable life jacket.
With three levels of integrated signal technology - GPS positioning, a powerful 406 MHz signal, and 121.5 MHz homing capability - the ResQLink+™ quickly and accurately relays your position to a worldwide network of search and rescue satellites. A built-in strobe light provides visibility during night rescues.
PLBs have been proven tried and true in some of the world's most remote locations and treacherous conditions. Just ask the 400 or so pilots, boaters and back country explorers who were saved by a PLB during a rigorous test program in Alaska. Based in large part on the test results, the federal government approved use of PLBs in the United States in 2003.
Even in extreme conditions and situations, the ResQLink+™ activates easily. Just deploy the antenna and press the ON button. With its powerful 66-channel GPS, the ResQLink+™ guides rescuers to within 100 meters or less of your position. And, in the continental U.S., search and rescue personnel are typically alerted of your position in as little as five minutes with a GPS-enabled PLB such as the ResQLink+™.
Two built-in tests allow you to routinely verify that the ResQLink+™ is functioning and ready for use - with the push of a button, you can easily test internal electronics and GPS functionality.

Great Price for Aviation
VERY happy with my ACR ResQLink+ Buoyant 406 MHz PLB. It was a great price (puchased on iBoats.com). I hope to never use it for real, but I make sure to self-test every month as recommended. Also signed up for www.406Link.com and activated the Plus account. This allows me to do self tests and send out messages to myself and emergency contacts telling them the system is working.
It's small, light, bright yellow, and it floats!
I really appreciate the design of this unit. Most importantly it is a perfect color for visibility in the water, it floats, and it has only two very simple buttons. Those buttons are cleverly hidden under a hinged cover such that they cannot be missed when you need them, but would be really hard to accidentally activate. I feel fortunate to say that I haven't needed to be rescued yet, but have every confidence that this unit will be of tremendous utility if the occasion should present itself. Thanks for making such an affordable and thoughtfully-designed product!
ResQLink+ is a great value
It is small but has a lot of great features. Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
ACR ResQLink+ Floating PLB, with Built-In GPS
I would not rely on the other brands of "locator beacons" like the popular "SPOT" with does not use the standardized 406 MHz Signal. Unlike "SPOT", ACR ResQLink+ does not have all the frills, it is to be used in an emergency only so you are not killing your battery sending "text messages". "SPOT" requires a membership/annual fee so if you forget to pay your SOL! ACR ResQLink+ can be used in any country, "SPOT" is USA only. ACR ResQLink+ has 406MHz @ 5 watts, GPS, and 121 MHz Homing, 3 systems to help Search and Rescue (SAR) locate you faster then any other Personal Locator Beacon. After doing my own research, ACR ResQLink+ is the ONLY type of personal locator beacon I would depend my life on for activities in the wilderness! Update: I started diving with my PLB offshore and have been keeping it clipped to me inside an OTTER BOX 9000 with 4 ultra high 5 min Cyalume Chem Sticks and some other emergency items. In case the charter boat leaves me or I cant find them in an emergency.
I would buy this product again
Works Great. Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
Staying Alive
I have hiked and biked in many places that do not get cell service. I also crawled out two miles after breaking my ankle in six places, it was not fun. I am worried about getting charged for being rescued, but a choice between a big bill and death, I will work it out. This will still not take the place of a well setup pack with med kit, but it sure makes my wife feel allot safer. We also carry it often in the car when we have our five month old because getting 911 to answer is often a joke in Sacramento and in case of an accident or med emergency it will be handy to have. Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
