- GekkePrutser 4y agoTrue but PLBs have always been affordable. Unlike InReach they don't even have a service fee. Though in some countries a local telecom license is needed but I know a lot of folks just ignore that. After all the only time you use it is when you're alone in an emergency and if there's a telecom regulator around you'd be happy to see them :) I've never used a PLB myself. I have my ham licence and these days I use an InReach because hams are spread too thin these days.
