Where to buy GME MT410G PLB in Hobart?

Postby simonontour » Sun 09 Jan, 2011 8:00 am

Hello,

I'm in Hobart at the moment and I want to buy GME MT410G PLB as soon as possible.

Does somebody know where I can buy such a unit in Hobart,

Cheers

Simon

I would check out the marine places - they would be the best, but check the prices

CH Smith, Peter Johnson

Alternatively, Johny Appleseed will do free overnight bags to Hobart

http://www.ja-gps.com.au/GME/mt410g-plb/ - $459 will be hard to beat I reckon for the GPS model

Alternatively, check out Service Tasmania for a hire unit - they may have one available.

134 Macquarie Street Hobart

I've bought mine at Jolly Swagmans camping store in Elizabeth St, between Banjo's and Mountain Designs.

It's expensive and needs to be registered to a local address, so if you're on holidays here I also suggest trying Service Tasmania first. They may have some available for hire, however since it is the season it's quite likely you'll be put on a waiting list.

I wonder why they have suddenly dropped in price? Good value at that price.

They have dropped in price due to the emergence of the Resqlink brand retailing at $449.95 and at only 130g, same frequency, being a good buy. I know the Gma 410g is a trusted model, but it is quite bulky

Haven't got the catalogue near me, but pretty sure they're on the cover for $349

Got mine from mountainequipment.com for $375 for the 410G. They're based in Sydney and shipped within a couple of days of order.
