Reviewer: Earl McKenzie from Tallahassee, FL United States  
It works fine as far as I can tell; but. they should have made it so it would float!

Test says its ok June 9, 2008
Reviewer: Anonymous person from Joliet, IL United States  
While I hope to never use my PLB, the unit arrived intact and all testing functions indicate it is in working order.  One problem - the flotation case webbing is poorly stitched.  The first time I cinched the straps to my backpack, it pulled off.
