Equip Your Boat

ACR makes a rescue a more personal event with the ResQLink. It’s a waterproof, 4-inch, 406 MHz personal locator beacon that, when deployed, emits a registered distress signal with a GPS fix on your position. Rescuers receive the signal typically within five minutes and are guided to within 100 meters of your position. Help arrives much quicker when the authorities can narrow down or pinpoint the exact search area. The ResQLink features a collapsible antenna, a high-visibility strobe light that is on automatically once the unit is activated, and a 66-channel GPS receiver for quicker position acquisition. The unit’s compact size and weight of less than 5 ounces makes it comfortable enough to keep on your person at all times. It also boasts a full 5-plus watts of power to help it reach out to orbiting satellites.
