Decided it was time to get a plb. Going with a portable unit. I have it narrowed down to 2
1st one ACR-2882

2nd one ACR-2884

Anyone have any experience with either of them?

I'm waiting to see answers you get because I want to get one also. TheHullTruth had a group buy gong on a few months ago. Not sure if it has ended.

I bought the 2881, the comparison chart shows them all fairly equal. The only advantage I can see with the 2882 and 2884 is the LCD readout but, I don't see myself being able to read that if the situation were that drastic as I was in the water away from the boat.

I have the 2882. I agree no need for the display. I keep mine attached to the ditch bag and an older unit easily accessible at the helm. If you call them tell them you were at a boat show and see if they will give you a boat show discount or point you in the direction of someone who will.
