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

I needed something for international travel. This works with NOAA sats.

Exactly as advertised.

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.

Must have

We are pleased...high quality product.

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.

Good product easy to use . Saves lives most importantly.

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).

I work as a Search and Rescue coordinator for the Coast Guard in Charleston, SC. I can attest that these beacons work! If you own a boat, it is a small price to pay for your safety. When your cell phone gets wet and your boat battery dies, this could be your lifeline. What are you waiting for? Buy it.

Haven’t needed it yet hope to never buy gives awesome peace of mind. Battery is good till 2026 easy to register and now I have it tied into my life jacket. I go offshore kayak fishing and needed a little more protection. I will update if I ever have to use it I looked and looked and didn’t see one but their website had tons.
