I was looking at the ACR resqlink. Anyone have any feedback on these or can recommend a plb?
Battery life is a consideration with a plb - you recycle the unit when the battery goes flat because replacing a battery costs as much as buying a new unit.
The acr has a 6 year battery life expectancy. Hopefully these things jyst sit in a pocket and never get used, but why pay $300 for 6 years when the kti is the same price, similar size, and gas a 10 year battery life?
I've thrown away 2 epirbs in the last 13 years - the first was when the rescue frequencies changed, the second was a gme that went beyond the 3 year battery life. My kti is now 7 years old so if I had bought an acr I'd have thrown it away by now.
