Nov 3, 2025, 7:39 PMI do talk to SAR people.
They have told me the locator signal that a PLB puts out doesn't work well on land and most SAR don't have the equipment to track it.
When you are lost at sea the locator works great when the Coast Guard is looking for you.
P.S. For this reason if you carry a PLB into the woods also have a loud whistle for the final locating. Actually just have a whistle no mater what.
