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

easy to use

Seems like a solid product, has a test feature so you can make sure its working.

small, compact, easy to use, hopefully I wont ever really need to use this to save my life, but happy we own it in case

Received a brand-new sealed unit. Ran the self-test - failed immediately. ACR was initially very responsive, but then told me that all their stock is allocated to filling new orders and they dont know when they will be able to provide a replacement. I.e. if you buy one of these and it fails, good luck getting a warranty replacement. This is unacceptable on safety equipment.

Exactly as advertised.

We were tricked into buying this device with the assumption that paying an extra $50 we could send a test message to family and friends letting them know we were alright as we sailed for a week long experience out in the Pacific Ocean in our small Bayfeild 25 sailboat. They give you one text.(unknown to us) We sent it at home and let our families know we would send 1 a day letting them know we were alive. Now we’re out in the ocean at Catalina island getting ready to go out further than cell phones will reach and have know way of letting them know. We should have bought the Garmin in reach.

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.

Thank goodness haven’t had to use. But a must have if youre a boater! Easy set up and registration.

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 bag is heavy duty and will last
