There has ben some discussion lately on epirbs, so as a prospective purchaser I thought I would
check out some facts. Based on the GME brands
The MT300 (and the MT310 personnal)both operate on 121.5 & 243 mHz. Prices respectively from BIAS boating are $198.90 & $238.90.
The MT 400 operates on the 406mHz frequency, and priced at $569.00.
For those suggesting a honeymoon period at the changeover- the answer is a definite NO. It will be the same as mobile phone- switched off on the day proposed in Feb 2009.
However, I will be opting for the MT300 as I'm sure the 406mHz models will come down in price at or after changeover & beside that the batterys are rated for 4-5 years anyway.
