You can have peace of mind with this. no matter what time it is, if you can see the sky, you will find it. You should not activate it indoors since it needs to see the sky to detect Unlike the guy who strapped it to his jet ski, this makes it more suitable to use on land. The floater is designed for the pressures found at the surface of the water, so it will float under those circumstances. These beacons are used in the marine industry. Pick the right tool for the right job, or you might as well complain about a jet ski that breaks down when riding on land.
My son wanted me to buy this for him to use while jet skiing For about three months I noticed it was full of rust When I went to test it nothing worked Thank goodness he didn't need it in an.
There's a very small chance that you'll need to use an emergency beacon at any point. There are often times when 9-1-1 cells are available when regular cell service cannot be obtained. The beacon is light and foolproof, if you are traveling off the beaten path and would like to protect yourself against emergency situations in which you are facing a life or death situation or have no other way to call for assistance (from air/sea rescue). It is necessary for you to register with the US Government.
Due to a loss of the first one, I had to buy a new one. The NOAA registered it for me, and everything is up and running When you're out at sea, it's great to have. It gives me great peace of mind to kayak a lot.
Having received two PLBs from ACR, this is my second. This one is meant to be used during the winter months. I still have the first one in my sailing bag. In addition to driving in Washington, Oregon, and Idaho, I also fly north into Canada. You'll find that your cell phone is less reliable once you're outside of a city. Many of the accidents I've witnessed in most remote areas have been extremely horrific. Just in case I need it, this PLB is there.
My insurance has been well worth the price even if I do not need it. There is a prerequisite of registering an individual, which is free and relatively easy to accomplish.
The experience was very good. The product was delivered on time and was great value. It was easy to understand how to use. This ensures a higher level of safety whenever I go offshore.
Though we have not actually used it yet, it certainly gives me piece of mind knowing we have it at our disposal.
