Hi everyone

I'm looking at purchasing an EPIRB and have so far viewed 2 in the shops.  One 
had a strobe light but no mirror, while the
other had a mirror (polished piece of metal for reflecting the sun but no 
strobe light for nighttime.  One suggested that to
change the batteries, it was best to return the entire unit to the 
manufacturer.  Both appeared to be designed for my
location, ie SE Australia.

Any comments on features and functionality would be appreciated.

Both of them were 121.5 / 243 MHz.  Can someone confirm please that this is the 
most appropriate / powerful rating?

Huge thanks
Cheers and Happy Times with Nature (without getting lost or hurt if at all 
possible !!!!)
