Ocean Signal rescueME PLB1 Personal Locator Beacon
Price
$399.95
The smallest 406 MHz personal locator beacon: about 4 oz, with GPS, a homing signal for rescue craft, a strobe and a 7-year battery (replaced by a service dealer). The trade-offs: it floats only in its included pouch, and it has no display and no return-link light, so you cannot confirm your signal was received. Register it free with NOAA before you need it and renew every two years; federal rules require registration.
