[QUOTE="justcozz, post: 605589, member: 13512"] I use an ACR ResQLink. I do quite a bit of flying and spend a fair amount of time out in potentially bad places so I don't need anything but an oh shit I really need help button. The ACR pushes more power than the other small handhelds but It's small enough to throw in a pocket making it the most reliable in getting a signal out for help. The following and messaging features of the SPOT are cool but if your life depends on a PLB I'd go with a top performer. I'm in serious envy of the Breitling Emergency 2 posted above. I wanted one badly but can't justify the purchase of a watch for this function. I usually wear a Garmin Tactix or a Citizen when I fly since they are functional and basically disposable. The combined cost of a functional watch and PLB is still under $1K, which is way less than the Brietling. All that said, one of these days I'll end up dropping the coin on the Emergency. It's a very Raptor like purchase though, no justifying except to yourself is needed. [/QUOTE]
