This question is only for those who own a PLB.

All - What PLB do you own?

Doug - Since you probably own an assortment of PLBs, which one do you most often take with you on a day hike or backpacking?

The new style McMurdo FastFind (I think it is the FastFind 210, but it does not say on the PLB).

I have the McMurdo Fast Find 210 which seems to have morph'd into the Kannad XS-4. I'll upgrade to the next version ACR unit when it is finally released.

I to have a McMurdo Fast Find 210 and love it. I will look into the new ACR as well when it comes out but it will depend on price, size and battery status on my fast find. I like my fast find for size and function though.

I use the older style ACR Terrafix 406 with the built-in GPS.

Would love to have a smaller one, but will continue to carry mine for a while.

Doug,
Any guesses as to what the street price of the ResQLink will be? MSRP?
TIA

Yes, but I am sworn to secrecy. But, it won't be the cheapest PLB.
