:confused:

 

JUST ASKING!

 

I know there is a thread on ELB's but I didn't want to but in.

 

So has anyone got one? Thoughts? Comparisons?

In NZ everyone flying microlights has one, many are the OZ made GME 410 which I chose partly on price and local support but also the type of batteries they use;

 

remember most need replacement every five years in some cases it will be easier to buy a new PLB. The GME uses a commonly available battery, most others dont.

 

Also there is not any easy way to tell what the reliability of any model is; you only get to find out when its too late.
