I'm looking to purchase a PLB. My primary outdoors activity is snowmobiling in MI Upper Peninsula and the rockies (yellowstone/wyoming). This year I'm looking to sled near Hearst ON, CA.
My question: Can I purchase a US PLB and register it for use with NOAA and also register with CA?
No and not sure why you would want to. You register your PLB in your home country whenever possible. Once registered, it is usable anywhere you go. If the beacon is deployed, the registration information is automatically shared with the SAR agency with responsibility for whatever area of the world it is in.
Also, any PLB recommendations (brand/model) would be appreciated. Cold weather use and long operating time when activated are my priorities. I'm not so concerned about size or cost and I also carry an iridium sat phone.
