ACR ResQLink View - Buoyant Personal Locator Beacon with GPS for Hiking, Boating and All Outdoor Adventures (Model PLB 425) ACR 2922

I opted for the slightly more expensive version..PLB 425 ..it has a nice screen that gives you instant acknowledgement the unit is on and working. (I have only tested it - not actually activated it) Comes with a carrying case ..you can attach to your belt or Velcro loop to something. I ordered mine from Orbital Satcom corp..an outfit from the United Kingdom. My first unit had an issue with the labels - the date of manufacture was missing (thus I was unable to register it with ACR for the warranty. After contacting both Orbital Satcom and ACR..i was sent a new unit...problem solved. Check your label on the box and the unit itself.. make sure date of manufacture is on there.

This unit does one thing and does it redundatly well. Best of all its water resistant and floats. Puts out 5 watts of power to get a signal out in most conditions. (Unlike the other subscription based units that only put out less that half a watt). And no pesky monthly charges. This and my hand held ham radio will supplement my sketchy cel phone when I'm in the outdoors here in northern Idaho. Its a great choice to keep you alive, its cheap life insurance. All you do is register the device and add contact numbers to your file in case of emergency. A sticker is sent in the mail, and you're covered.

A 100% must have if you're on the water, especially solo. It's easy to register and easy to use (hopefully I won't ever have to actually activate it).

Mine was for United States and registered successfully. Tested well. No complaints!

Item arrived on time, registered the device with the NOAA website, performed a test in my front lawn. Passed on the first test. Arrived 4/29/24, battery expires 5 years from March 2024. I have seen a lot of reviews where people receive devices with 2-3 year old dates. Not the case for me. Hopefully never need it!

Well I suppose ot will work, but you really don't know until you actually activate it, I do feel confident that it will do what it is intended to do

If you see that this beacon is being sold from a company named 'Orbital Satcom Corp' - DO NOT BUY IT!! Our satellite registration was rejected when we tried to set up our beacon. We found out from ACR (the manufacturer) and the NOAA that Orbital Satcom Corp is illegally refurbishing beacons from the UK. The beacon will NOT work in the US. I have flagged Orbital Satcom Corp with Amazon but am concerned that more of these illegal beacons may be on the market. My family and I rely on this beacon to save our lives when we are boating & fishing off shore without cell service. To have found out that it was not working while we were offshore is terrifying because we would have not be saved if we had an emergency. Please, please, please do not spend $375 on a lifesaving, emergency product that has been illegally reprogrammed and will not work!

Purchased this to keep us safe when we're out and about on our boat or someone else's. Surprisingly small and compact. Whose life isn't worth the money this thing costs? I'd rather have it and not need it, then need it and not have it. Leave it in our dry bag. Highly recommend.

The company in the UK provided me with a device that can't be registered in canada. If I had a medical issue on the water or in the Bush I would have probably died. I should sue them. Extremely disappointed

I test comunque tutti positivi! Spero di non dover mai poter aggiornare questa recensione :-)

Brilliant product order delivery and fantastic experience allover

Es ist schwierig die Hauptfunktion zu bewerten, nämlich im Notfall eine Positionsmeldung abzusetzen und im besten Fall gerettet zu werden. Ich hoffe dass ich diesbezüglich niemals in die Lage komme eine Bewertung abgeben zu können. Was aber schon mal gut funktioniert ist der GPS Test mit der Anzeige der genauen Position. Auch gut, die Batterie ist bist Juni 2026 haltbar! Sehr gut auch die Kommunikation mit dem Verkäufer GTC in UK, speziell bei der verzögerten Auslieferung, verursacht durch FedEx.

Good product easy to use . Saves lives most importantly.
