Just last week on the TV news there was a segment regarding the imminent closure of the 121.5/243mHz Epirb system.
Now I'm not sure where the guy being interviewed got his information but to quote $3600 for a 406 (digital model) and in doing so saying the cost is more than what some boats are worth sort of bemused me a little and sort of a little scare mongering. $3600 is cerainly what some models cost but why quote the absolute upper limit of the market in a recreational context #???, rather a bit deceptive
Couldn't see the point and as it's so far off the mark it simply makes one wonder why this organisation would put their name to such a story #:o.
Cheers, Kerry.
