If things go abruptly sideways, this is the ace you want in your pocket. Activation is simple: deploy the antenna and press the ON button. The ResQLink 400 uses a 66-channel GPS to calculate your position within 100 metres. Transmitting on 406Mhz to the MEOSAR satellite constellation. The beacon also broadcasts a local signal on 121.5 MHz that searchers can pinpoint once they're in your vicinity.

No paid subscription is required. The only additional expense is replacing the battery every 5 years. If you need to use the ResQLink 400, ACR will replace it with a PLB of equal or greater value in return for the old beacon and your rescue story.
