Joe – Always a challenge writing about a product you hope never to use. I had the same problem with an avalanche transceiver. A few specific edits below and a general EDIT here – Please add a sentence or two stating that the only function the ResQLink provides is an emergency signal, and how that works. To whom does the alert go and what role (if any)_do you play in selecting it. I think the Report needs that so that our readers understand what they may be buying. After revising please repost to this list and send me a copy off-list [Montana DOT angler AT gmail DOT com]. Cheers, Richard ________________________ ### I winter camp most often at 6,000 to 7,000 ft (1,800 to 2,000 m); 2 to 3 nights; 50 lbs (23 kg); 1 to 4 mi (1.6 to 6.4 km) on snowshoes. ### EDIT: 50 lb [BGT abbreviations are always singular.] ### Manufacturer: ACR Electronics ### EDIT: ACR Electronics, Inc.

I couldn't find it on ACR's website. ### Mfr specs: ### EDIT: Manufacturer specs ### In 56 years of backpacking I've never had an emergency. ### EDIT: I think you mean "an emergency requiring immediate evacuation." Some qualification is needed as some folks consider unexpected heavy weather or a bridge out as an emergency.
