Anyone use one of these? Getting one for my dad for Father's Day.

Pro's or Cons? Or better product to buy out there?

No good without good battery's a spare set of Lithium AAA batteries would be wise choice to pack into the same bag.

I strongly believe these are not replacements for 406MHz PLB/ELT which you can buy portable versions of, If the shit really hits the fan I want an alert going to SAR-SAT and able to be homed into by CAP and others

I have a watch with an ELT, hopefully I never use it.


Some of our MD-11's are being outfitted with GPSmsg for worldwide ACARS and position info, I'll look into it.
