I have been carrying a ResQLink for years. Fortunately, I have never needed to use it. The unit was originally around $300. The battery needs to be replaced after 5 years. A local boating dealer that handles the marine models did it. They do a complete test of the unit to be sure that all is in working order. The service was a bit expensive - over $100. That is not cheap, but what price is your life worth?
PLB's come in three models - land, boating use, and aircraft. Be sure to get the land use model.
For those with deep pockets, sat phones are around $1K plus a phone plan.
