Hi Des,
There are several Manufacturers of portable EPIRBS. I have a GME personal one which I take everywhere (the same as those hikers in the snowy used last year to help get rescued) the cost was about $375.00 2 years ago when I got
mine.
THat particular type (the frequency that they transmit on) is only servicable until 2007 when CASA (civil aviation safety authority) will have new system in place.
Most fishing/boating shops should be able to get info for you or
check out the web, plenty of info there.
Regards,
BB
