What was wrong with the old one that you needed to replace it?
After much research I bought a new PLB - a KTI SA2GN
Made in Australia AND no ongoing subscription fees.
An absolute must have if venturing off the beaten track especially in this country
Bushwalking, Hunting, Four Wheel Driving, Motorcycling etc
Bargain at $269.90 (with free postage) especially when you consider the cost of NOT having one if you find yourself in a position to need it.

It's not broken. It's "Carbon Neutral".

It was that old it didn't have the new frequency.
I took a good hard look at myself and decided I couldn't justify not getting one.
If you dvide the purchase price by 10 years (recommended replacement cycle) that's REALLY cheap.

Mine is on the very old frequency (121.5MHz?), dunno if it would still work - maybe albeit not as quickly as a modern unit.

My GME runs out of battery next year and I think I will get a KTI as apparently the battery replacement cost is as much as a new one..
Regards PhilipA
I replaced the batteries in mine myself. I just bought them off the net and soldered them in - much cheaper than a new EPIRB.
However, I do need to update.
