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

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

Like the size and portability. Keep it in my flight bag!

This will SAVE YOUR LIFE !!!

I received this as a gift from a family member. On my second jet ski fishing trip in the Gulf of Mexico, the unit self activated notifying all me emergency contacts, the US Airforce, and the coast guard. I store the unit in my life jackets zipped pocket. Needless to say, my emergency contacts were terrified I was in trouble. A google search identified a boaters thread where many mentioned similar stories. I’m waiting to hear from ACR now. I’m hoping their customer service has improved from the posts I read. BTW, this seems to be an ACR or design issue; not an issue with this seller.

Very good experience. Arrived on time great price. Easy to understand how to use it. I go offshore and it adds another level of safety

Bought for hiking and was happy with the unit. Until I went to test and it failed the battery test. Had to drive two hours to the nearest authorized battery replacement dealer; informed it was not the battery, I needed to contact the company about warranty. Good luck! Customer service sucks...if you can even get hold of someone!

Accidentally stepped on life jacket it was attached to hunting Arkansas River in middle of nowhere at 4 AM. At 4:05 a.m. Coast Guard in Destin Florida where I live called checking on me and knew my location. They save lives. Only reason for 4 stars is the activation switch could use a more robust cover to help prevent accidental activation.
