Knowing that your message has been sent and received offers reassurance, whether you’re texting a friend or sending out a mayday in a boating emergency. That’s the idea behind ACR Electronics Return Link Service (RLS), now integrated into a pair of its popular 406 MHz ResQLink personal locator beacons. RLS provides a clear confirmation message that the international satellite system, Cospas-Sarsat, has received the distress message and GPS location. The ResQLink View RLS confirms via its digital display screen, while the ResQLink 410 RLS has a confirmation light. $449.95 and $429.95, respectively; acrartex.com
