From: Ocean Pines, Maryland. Wish I was at MANGOS in MIAMI!
Maryland Mark, check oput ACR's EPIRB's -online consumers marine electronics .
They have the personal EPIRB's that are about 400-500
I will be purchasing the internal GPS cat 2 model. I believe it's around 695.oo This one does not have the hydrostatic release (doesn't deploy from case when water contacts) it's a manualy activated unit but also activates when it makes contact with water.
I use to have to 406 version however the newer internal gps models are accurate to within yards whera as the 406's have about a 2 mile search radius
. That's a long way offshore when in distress (needle in a hay stack)
