I just saw my first television commercial for a PLB- ACR on Discovery. If it does well for them, prices will go down.
Remember, PLBs cost what cellphones did ten years ago. And now, it's only odd balls like me who don't carry a cell.

You are not an oddball, you're just not domesticated enough for an electronic leash, yet!

You can't leash a Raven.

I dunno, I snared one once and had a bit of fun with it trying to fly around with a line around it's shoulders. For a while it looked like them old RC planes with the two strings that I used to go round and round with till I got too dizzy to keep my feet. Fortunately the bird got tired of it before I did, and when he landed I slacked him out enough that he bailed and didn't even look back.
