That's a good deal. Specs are funny, though...

Thanks for the info. This could make the solo baja runs a lot safer.

Thanks for posting this Bing, an affordable epirb is something new. I never saw the need for one fishing La Jolla, but now it seems like a great idea.

Found the same for $117.00

Anyone have any idea on the quality of this EPERB?

ACR is basically the benchmark out there. The miniB300 does not have a GPS position transmitter, but soon as you trigger it, the CG will know something is up and will try to triangulate the user.
