June 8, 2016used it in an emergency, it worked,
No one buys these things expecting to use them. I was like everyone else where you buy it for peace of mind, and expect it to be a $500 waste of money that sits on your bulkhead. Instead, it probably saved a family member’s life. I’ll be using ACR signaling gear from this point forward.
