GME MT410G Epirb Any Good?

[Humpo]

Hi all looking at getting a Epirb for the boat and hiking.
Anyone got one of these?
Is there a better one out there?
I found them on ebay for $654
Ideas?

I've got one. Can't comment on whether it is any good or not 'cos I have never used it in the 18 months or so I have had it And I hope I never have to use it.

Yer you have got a point I hope to never use it to.

I found the instructions. They are in German, but I think they explain everything you need to know.

"Das Maschine ist nicht fuer finger-poken und halten in der hand. Wenn dummer wanderer Dummkopf ist easy schnappen der Mechanismus, break gute bits und have Funken-helle.

Wenn alles fast kaputt, pushen das button und relaxen und watch das blinkenlichten lights."

That makes it clear now thanks

Yer I had a read of that the other night. I ended up with the GMW 410G for $629.
Doing the coast track tomorrow and over the weekend so i hope i will not need it.

I bought a GME 410G in July last year. It cost me $549 at Whitworths Chandlery in Elizabeth St Melbourne. I've not had to use it but it is light and compact and compares better to the others I looked at. When I had a boat I fitted a lot of GME electronic equipment over other brands because GME seem to make a higher quality product.
