Great unit. Feeling much more secure with it!
One of the best investments you can make! This top-notch tool gives complete peace of mind. I think everyone who boats should have this one. I also take it with me while hiking. Perfect if you need to send out help signals in case of an emergency. The only drawback is that you can’t replace the battery by yourself and have to pay quite a lot to have it changed.

A Must If You’re Going Offshore! Looks Well-Built
Fortunately, I haven’t had an opportunity to test how it really works and I hope I never will. But I do feel more comfortable and protected having it on board. This one is so well-made, and the price is very reasonable. It is supposed to quickly broadcast your position to rescue authorities so that they can save you as fast as possible. Well, I believe it will work as described. The install didn’t take long. And this one is easy to register.
