Posted: Sat 15 Nov, 2008 5:30 amI'm considering bringing the PLB (ACR ResQFix 406 GPS) I use in the ditch bag in my lobster boat here in the US with me to Tassie as I'll be bushwalking solo for most of my stay. Any comments on this units compatiblity with AusSAR ?
I've been using EPIRBS and PLB's for over 15 years now and although I've never had to deploy one intentionally, I did have a unit activate because of a manufacturing defect which triggered a fairly quick response by Coast Guard boats and aircraft, as well as a number of friends in the commercial fishing community. Quite impressive.
