Once upon a time, suffering a broken femur during a solo backcountry trek meant that you were a goner, but thanks to the ACR ResQlink 406 Personal Locator Beacon, that no longer has to be the case. This high-powered emergency locator and GPS integrates three levels of signal technology so that you can always send out a distress signal to SAR teams regardless of your location on the planet.

- The 121.5 MHz signal relays your location to localized ground Search and Rescue operations
- On-board GPS accurately notifies rescuers of your position and is accurate to within 100 meters
- Bright LED strobe light is automatically activated when rescue signal sent
- Full-function test mode lets you know it is working properly without draining the battery
- GPS acquisition test mode allows you to test GPS functionality up to 12 times over the life of the battery
- Small, lightweight, and easy to carry in a pack, pocket, or on the included lanyard
