ACR ResQLink 400 - SOS Personal Locator Beacon with GPS (Model: PLB-400) ACR 2921

Got this for my son while he jet skis Had it for approx 3 months Noticed it was full of rust Went to test Obliviously nothing works Good thing he did not need it for a emergency

I have the PLB 375 ( old model)

Primary Drawback.. There are no applicable Rescue Response Insurance Plans. Spot, Garmin, etc all have access to services like GEOS. This does not.

This is my second PLB from ACR. I still have my first in my sailing bag but, this one is for Winter travel. I drive all accross Washington, Oregon and some of Idaho. Once your away from cities, cell phones become less reliable. I have whitnessed some really terrible accidents in pretty remote areas. This PLB is my Just In Case back up.

Simple design. Easy to use and understand. Thankfully haven’t needed to press button yet but I am ready!!!

But also make sure not to confuse the manufacture date (to the immediate right of the uin and in black on white) with the battery life (black on yellow)....wasnt very visible when I went to register the product. If you register any product ever, this is one not to skip. You might not know what kind of product you have. They changed the website so the warranty registration was under a link leaving me to wonder how current the product was. Glad to find out it exp in 2026, not 2020

Getting it registered wasn’t easy but not the fault of Amazon or the company that made it.

Great for peace of mind. Anywhere in the world, any time, you’ll be found if you can see the sky. So please don’t activate it indoors, it must see the skies to see the satellites. As for the guy who strapped it to his jet ski, this made is for terrestrial endeavors. And while it will float, it’s only made for water pressures found at the water surface. They have beacons for marine use. You might as well complain about your jet ski conking out when riding on land. Pick right tool for the right job.

Hope I never have to use it but well worth the insurance. Individual registration is required, free and easy to do with provided instruction.

Actually I hope never to use it, but if the need arose I suspect this unit would be helpful. This replaces a McMurdo Fast Find which Ive had for 8 years and never used. The battery in the Fast Find still shows full charge after all these years, but I thought it best to replace and upgrade. Both are fine units, I just appreciated the longer signal life on the ResQLink. The only downside is the belt clip is close to impossible (dont give up) to attach to the unit and for all the trouble the closure on the belt clip is too wide and doesnt stay on your belt or pack. Also, the antenna can and does deploy when thrown in a bag or pack. Not a big deal, just an inconvenience.
