Anybody bought a personal locator beacon (PLB) yet? How do you like it? I'm kinda looking at a McMurdo FastFind Plus. It's got a 406MHz & 121.5MHz transmitter, GPS, floats, and looks nice. It's about less than ~US$ 900 though :'( And yup, I'm aware that a blocked view of the sky will greatly reduce its effectiveness. An alternative PLB product is from ARS Electronics.

But what do you think?
