Thread: School me on PLB

One with an infrared strobe is a worth while feature, it might be night time when you require assistance.

Be sure to register it.

If you need it, turn it on and leave it on until someone there to help is standing next you.

They are much of a muchness.
Interestingly, it’s a case of the lesser models going off on their own more often than the others that makes them not quite as good.
Inadvertent activations are an important reason to register the PLB, contacting the owner by other means saves a lot of unnecessary SAR responses.

The rep told me the ACRs have a shorter battery service interval to ensure the beacon can transmit the required 24+ hour through any likely temperature range within that five year period.
