It’s been a long time coming, but we just got a brief firsthand look at ACR Electronics’ new ResQLink 406 MHz PLB which lays claim to the "world’s smallest and lightest" PLB title. Take a look at ACR's answer to the groundbreaking McMurdo FastFind 210 and discover if it's been worth the wait.

Just looking at the picture, it still appears larger than the Fastfind. Unless that is the hand of a six-year-old

Perhaps appearances are deceiving? Admittedly, the differences are not major. Suggest you read the article and compare the dimensions and weight. It isn't much smaller, but it is smaller overall and lighter, so they gain the title. Beyond that, however much that matters, a little or not, the features set it apart.

I'd trade operating time and readily available batteries for size.
