ACR PLB activation helped save my life.

ACR TerraFix 406 GPS I/O PLB

Rating for this product: 5 September 22, 2008

In Late January 2008 my ideal overnight backpacking trip turned into a foul weather disorientation. Multiple failed attempts to get off Big Horn Peak of the San Bernardino Mountains left me no choice but to activate my ACR 406 GPS PLB as night was closing in and weather went from bad to worse. During the night helicopters were hovering right above my location but dense fog and clouds disallowed an extraction. Less then 24 hours later I was rescued by multiple Search and Rescue ground forces that were lead to my exact coordinates via the ACR PLB. Thank you ACR for you commitment to reliable technology.

Hello Karon,

I actually have the ACR AquaFix 406 I/O GPS PLB. Same thing but the AquaFix is marketed for marine use vs land. I don't know if there is a floating function on the terra fix. To answer your question, similar but not exactly the same one.
