I've got a Fastfind 210.

I like the ResQLink but I'll wait for the price drop which usually arrives a few months after the initial product release.

I checked the links on Falcon's post above and if those price figures hold after the ResQLink is authorized for release by FCC, I'll be all over it.

Edit: Due to the Would you attempt to walk to safety? scenario, I moved the FF 210 from my flight bag to my truck's GHB. The GHB is always in the truck so it's a good place for the PLB. It can easily be moved back to the flight bag before a flight, if I don't replace it with a ResQLink first.

Same here. I have a SPOT-2 now (I know, it's not a PLB) but I'm keeping a close eye on the ResQLink and will transition to it rather than maintain the subscription on the SPOT-2.

Others here have convinced me that it is better to carry the PLB in a pocket on my person while traveling. Doug's advice of "If it isn't with you, it can't save you" puts it in a nutshell.

Lets not be snobs here

While it may not (air quotes)technically(air quotes)be a PLB, I have a SPOT2.

Oh ... one of those.

Like Doug, I carry a FastFind 210 and will be purchasing the new ACR when it comes out. I typically carry my FastFind 210 in my leg pocket or fanny pack.
