[QUOTE="condor22, post: 550614, member: 1932"] Nope, I don't have a boat. Bit difficult to tow a boat and a caravan at the same time, lol. The GME Accusat is around $300 new, a replacement battery is over $200, only done by GME in Sydney and is only a 1 year warranty on refurbished PLBs. The KTI is $269 (Snowys Outdoors) 10 year Warranty, I think that's about the best deal I can found. Re my previous post, I checked the AMSA website re what and where. I would suggest that if you have an EPIRB initially for maritime and want to use it on land, they may still need to know that, to save looking for for your boat in the middle of the Simpson Desert, lolol. I think I mentioned on the other posts, my main reason for having one is I mostly detect alone (Victoria). Although not far from civilisation, or people, if I fall, can't walk etc and no means of raising the alarm, I have the PLB on the harness, so someone can come get me. In W.A. I reckon a PLB is a must. :) [/QUOTE]
