It would be good to give the rest of the story:Full story at http://www.sarsat.noaa.gov/emerbcns.html"Different types of ELTs are currently in use. There are approximately170,000 of the older generation 121.5 MHz ELTs in service. Unfortunately,these have proven to be highly ineffective. They have a 97% false alarmrate, activate properly in only 12% of crashes, and provide noidentification data. In order to fix this problem 406 MHz ELTs weredeveloped to work specifically with the Cospas-Sarsat system. These ELTsdramatically reduce the false alert impact on SAR resources, have a higheraccident survivability success rate, and decrease the time required to reachaccident victims by an average of 6 hours. "And the real rest of the story is that the 406 Mhz models cost 3 times asmuch as the old ones. If you want ELT coverage, you want the 406 but you'llhave to pay.Greg Chapmanhttp://www.mousetrax.comhttp://www.layer1wireless.com"Don't start with me or I'llreplace you with a small andefficient script!"

That is my $64 question!Boyce**************Gas prices getting you down? Search AOL Autos for fuel-efficient used cars.

History says it does.but only after the first 525,000 of us buy it at themore expensive rate. ;)Greg Chapmanhttp://www.mousetrax.comhttp://www.layer1wireless.com"Don't start with me or I'llreplace you with a small andefficient script!"
