Hi All,

 Been putting it off but got to bite the bullet and cough up the dough for the new 406 epirb.

Any body seen them on special anywhere?

That would be a poor choice.

Tue, 2008-09-09 14:25

That would be a poor choice. That model doesn't fulfil the requirements for boating as its a PLB.

Pretty much avoid anything

Tue, 2008-09-09 14:34

Pretty much avoid anything that mentions 4WD, personal, PLB or bushwalking. You're looking at MT403 or the Pains-Wessex models

leaflet in front of me

Tue, 2008-09-09 15:28

 I think its the 406MHz leaflet says beacons should be registered with AMSA to fully utilize the beacons features, registration is free and they carry a unique identification code which is transmitted to the RCC when beacon is activated, when registered unique code provides vital information about the registered boat/owner ensuring faster response etc..  Can't buy anything on ebay, never had a credit card or any other

They are now registered to you

Tue, 2008-09-09 18:34

 I purchased the new type of epirb last year and there is a fair bit of paper work to be done. Three contacts names and telephone numbers, then registration papers sent off to Canberra. YesterdayI received confirmation of my details (took along time) and a white sticker to put my epirb  which had my boat rego and name on it.

PRICE - $400 each

Wed, 2008-09-10 13:59

I'm a member of CPBA as is Chris of Boating Hardware in O'connor.

Have just spoken to him and he is prepared to supply the MT400 for $400.

I would prefer to support a local bloke, then a national company.  He is not making much on these so hence he would require people to pay for these within 7 days of order and credit card payment (except Amex) is OK.

Demand is currently out stripping supply, so there is a wait.

He will order the units we need, once they come in, we have 7 days to pick up and pay.  So please have that committment to help him out as he is helping us out.

Cheers Pete

EPIRBS

Fri, 2008-09-12 17:34

Ok it seems the story of not much margin in these things is true...

 

Best he could do is $390 including gst......only manual activation.

I think the MT is both water'immersion and manual operation....need to confirm that

 

Pete D's deal from Chris sound just as good, and like he said supporting  a local bloke....

Mark - thanks for the offer.

7 from the original list.

Might be worth checking if you can do the deal first, then put up a price to get people motivated.  If goes ahead will have to chat and see if a GME CD/rad player can be added for me.  Mine is dying (not even 3 years oldFrown).

Cheers Pete
