[@russellvandelden]

Thanks Justin. Helpful advice and an essential safety item. Keep up the good work!

[@TeekoMartin]

Underrated device, must have

[@justsittingupthecreek6918]

Love your campers I’m buying one at the moment

[@toddkenyon2509]

What a great bit of kit!

[@PatriotGames]

Thanks Todd!

I've had the same one for about 5 years. My buddy at Border Force told me the same thing, that they will dispatch a search and rescue team straight away. You do need to register them though. Test my battery every 6 months. Lives in the centre console.

PLBs are ideal for getting help in the most remote places on earth, including oceans.

[@Blackwater_House]

I spent 30 Years in Search and Rescue, consequently I never leave Home without My PLB. Even though I have Mobile Phones and Two Way Radio onboard, My PLB is My Last Resort Guarantee of Help and Rescue.

Great peace of mind!

Need a epirb legally if 2 nautical miles from the coast iirc. Epirbs are required to float by AS/NZ while PLBs arent

I'm not 100% sure about Queensland, but in WA and the NT you need to register your device with the police, otherwise, a signal will be transmitted, but it won't be sent anywhere.

[@evanmiris5765]

The reason you have to register the device and it's code is so they know who they are looking for , before they scramble the search and rescue wasting time and money they can ring your family or try and contact you to make sure it's not a false alarm. There have been many instances where they have been thrown out and have been set off at a tip by the excavator and have had rescue response turn up for nothing or they have been stolen and thrown into a river and out to sea with search and rescue wasting time looking for nothing.

get the 6x6 back

[@roberthopkins2494]

Anything like that in the USA?

[@jshepard152]

USA is one of the countries that developed PLBs. Rescues are dispatched by the US Air Force. But they work worldwide. Look at the ACR ResQLink 400 or similar.
