Product Description

ACR ResQLink 406 MHz GPS Personal Locator Beacon. With Optional 406 Link's website Service. At 4.6 oz, the ResQLink weighs less than a couple of PowerBars. And topping at just 3.9 inches, it's smaller than the cell phone in your pocket. Small and mighty, the ResQLink is a full-powered, GPS-enabled rescue beacon designed for anglers, pilots and back country sportsmen. 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 t

5.0 out of 5 starsHelp, come get me!!
By Patrick on November 23, 2011
I think it's important to site the differences between this unit and a competitor "Spot" which lets you send nifty "I'm OK" messages. Spot is not a SAR 406 MHz Personal Locator Beacon. It is a GPS communicator. The Spot Communicator has been fraught with problems where tracking and personal messages have not been successfully sent. Out of 91 users on REI's website 34 have complained that they have been unable to send messages. This works out to roughly 30% chance that your message didn't make it out. The statistics are even worse for the Spot Smartphone unit. Are these the kind of odds you want in a real emergency?

What I really want is a "Help, come get me" message that will work in the event that I am in an emergency. If I'm in trouble I want my message heard, and for that I'm going to rely on a SAR 406 Mhz beacon! This thing is lightweight and small, and it lets you test it once or twice a year to confirm that it's working. That's what the 12 messages are for, not for idle chit-chat with loved ones.

Yes, it's pricier than the competition at first glance, but there are no yearly subscription fees with this. You buy it once and it's good for years. With the spot you have to pay subscription fees at or over $100 a year. In the long run this ACR is much cheaper.

If texting with loved ones is what you want, buy the Spot. Just make sure you bring this ACR unit in the event of an emergency!

5.0 out of 5 starsPerfect for hiking
By Amazon Customer on August 20, 2011
Verified Purchase
ACR did a great job delivering a personal locator beacon that perfectly meets hikers' requirements. It is a full fledged PLB (unlike spot), with GPS functionality , extremely compact and light (lighter than my phone), waterproof and looks very ruggedly built. I just got it, so I can't attest to its performance or reliability, but the fact that it complies with government standards gives me a peace of mind.

Also, it is not a well known fact but you can actually use a 406MHz PLB to send OK messages. For a nominal fee 406link.com allows you to utilize the device's test function to send out ok messages with or without your GPS location. Only downside is that its battery, which is non rechargeable or field-serviceable, allows for a limited number of tests. Exceeding this number cuts into the 24hours of continuous operation the device is required to meet in case of emergency. Replacing the battery is $100-150, which makes extensive use of the feature rather expensive. Still, I intend to use it to notify my wife when I am fine but running late getting out of the wilderness and to an area with cell phone coverage.

5.0 out of 5 starsGood piece of equipment that does what is designed to do
By JMSZ on February 5, 2013
I rented one of these for hunting last year, it gave me a warm fuzzy and made my wife more comfortable about me being out in the mountains alone. I'm going to be purchasing one for myself in the near future and renting until one when I need it until then.

For anybody considering buying one of these and not familiar with what they do, some models have the "I'm OK" capability, but that is secondary to what this and similar units are for: Notifying the National Search and Rescue Coordination Center that you need to be rescued and your location so that they can get assets enroute to pick you up.

The test/"I'm OK" function is disabled after a certain number of tests to ensure that the battery will function for the required amount of time in an actual emergency.

The 406.1MHz transmitter sends data bursts with your location information at pre-defined intervals to the satellite, which are relayed to the rescue coordination center. This frequency is used both for aircraft and ships, so people are always monitoring it and always respond to it.

In addition, 121.5 MHz is monitored by all aircraft, military and civilian, as well as airports. A very distinct audio tone is transmitted and every aviator immediately knows what it is when they hear it and will report hearing the signal to the nearest air traffic control center, airport or any number of other organizations. The signal is continuously broadcast and allows rescuers in line of sight to triangulate your location if they don't have access to location information from the 406.1MHz signal.

This is not a toy: If you activate it, people will be sent to look for you and they will look for you until they find you.Read more ›

4.0 out of 5 starsDon't buy this if you want to be on "I Shouldn't be Alive."
By Pete H. on September 6, 2012
Verified Purchase
I do a lot of solo bike touring in remote areas where cell phones don't work. Didn't want to be the guy who was found half-eaten by turkey buzzards just 50 feet from the road.

Also, I found it comforting to take with me when I go sailing or kayaking offshore. A cell phone in a dry case might also save your life, but why not have both?

Regarding functional testing, I did a test outside my home near San Francisco. The signal was picked up by a satellite right away. If you're further north, the test might not work unless a low orbiting satellite is passing by. That might be what happened to one of the previous reviewers, who could not be heard by any of the geo-stationary satellites over the equator. However, in a non-test situation, I believe the unit will keep transmitting a burst every few minutes or so until it's turned off, so eventually you will be noticed by a low orbit satellite (and rescued!).

I gave it four stars only because I think it's bigger than it has be be, though probably the smallest one currently on the market. The other problem is that it takes some research to get the point where you truly understand what's going on with the battery, test functions, satellites, etc. Someone needs to write lucidly about this stuff and put the information in one place !

One more thing, and this is about the system you paid for with your taxes, why didn't they provide for a "Help is on the way" indicator? It seems to me this would be both a motivator to keep yourself going and a deterrent against doing something risky, like trying to swim back to shore.
