Meet the ACR ResQLink View PLB435 with RLS — a compact, buoyant Personal Locator Beacon engineered for safety across land, sea, and air. This device delivers real-time GPS coordinates on a clear digital display, and it includes the groundbreaking Return Link Service (RLS) to confirm that your distress message has been received and your location detected. Best of all, it requires no subscription to use.
With three levels of integrated signal technology — GPS positioning, a robust 406 MHz signal, and 121.5 MHz homing — the ResQLink View RLS rapidly and accurately relays your position to a worldwide network of search and rescue satellites. It is MEOSAR compatible and supports global coverage, ensuring help can find you wherever your adventure takes you. The built-in strobe and infrared strobe improve visibility in low-light or challenging conditions, increasing your chances of a swift rescue.
Despite its rugged capability, this beacon remains small and lightweight, designed for comfort and ease of use. A buoyant construction keeps it afloat, while a 5-year battery life and up to 28 hours of operational life keep you covered on long expeditions. The ResQLink View RLS deploys quickly — simply extend the antenna, press the on button, and you’ll receive a blue confirmation light on the display indicating your distress message was received and your location detected (within 100 meters or less) by rescuers.
Designed for versatility, the beacon features a multifunction clip system and exclusive ACR Skins included with purchase, so you can tailor it to your activity and gear. This combination of rugged durability and practical wearability makes the ResQLink View RLS a dependable companion for mountaineers, sailors, pilots, and outdoor enthusiasts alike.
