ResQlink View RLS vs 410 RLS

[Jaan]

Thanks @-JD-

We do have the TXL that will work but it’s really quite big with interior dimensions as follows:
Length 10.35″ (263mm)
Diameter 2.75″ (70mm)

We made it originally for some deep sea research projects to house large batteries.

That said we’ve had some interesting dive use cases including the long 8” ais/plb unit, divers wanting to bring multiple units, and even a medical diver that carried surgical tools ..

You could definitely get this unit with the floatation pouch in one and still have room for other safety equipment.

In terms of attachment or carrying it : I had a spare-air holster ordered which got lost so I’m waiting for a replacement to see if it can house the unit. Otherwise bungee onto the back of the tank or backplate with some hose clamps could work or some other large pocket.

I'm looking at a Resqlink as well. Can I ask why you aren't considering the 450? In addition to the GPS and RLS, it's also got ALS for local, faster response.

I did consider it, but the form factor is throwing me off of it. I want it as manageable as possible, and an 8” long unit in an 11” Dryfob is not something that I want to have to deal with in an emergency situation. Also, I keep seeing conflicting information about how useful AIS would truly be in this type of situation. Honestly, at some point it came down to do I keep researching different units or do I pull the trigger on what seems to best suite my needs based on what I have found. It started to feel like analysis paralysis.

Sorry for the long winded response, but hope it answered your question. Ultimately, as you know, what works best for one person doesn’t always work best for another.

Not at all, you're thinking the same thing I am. the extra tech is helpful, but the form factor is problematic. I don't need it as quickly, so I can afford to wait. Just wanted to see if there's anything I might have missed. Who knows if they'll reduce the form factor at some point given the feedback already on it from mariners as well.

Also something to be said for two separate units should you want to carry both technologies ….
