PLB recommendations, please

[Skip Miller]

I'm looking for recommendations for a 406mhz handheld PLB with integral GPS.

Make, model, vendor, price, and what else you can offer. Thanks in advance!

ACR

I have the older ACR model with an optical IR input for an external GPS. The plan is to connect it to my Garmin GPSMAP 295, ...if I can get all that out in time,....and ever get the documentation on which polarity is correct on the cable.

I carry an ACR as well.

I bought the new ACR MicroFix at OSH this year from Aeromedix. Small, light, integral GPS, etc. Fits very nicely in the flight bag.

Luckily, I have not yet had occasion to use it.
