Thread: Personal Locator Beacon

Well, I've just returned home with a new product for me. A PLB.
Now I've been thinking about this for a long time and after they changed the systems to align themselves with most of the world, plus the fact I'm closer to 60 than 50, I thought it was time.
The unit I bought after visiting many shops and talking to the salesmen, was the rescueME PLB made by Ocean signal. It was around the same cost as others. It is very small, and it seems to have a good battery life. Plus the 7yr guarantee helped.
I hope never to use this unit but will gain some peace of mind from being able to gain emergency aid should anybody in our party be in a life threatening position.

What say you? Any good stories, or otherwise to do with PLB's
Thanks
