I've been looking for some information on Eprib's. I just thought I'd pass along some good websites for others to review. What are other distance racers buying?

Difference between 406 and 121.5 Epirb: http://www.equipped.com/406_vs_1215.htm

Information on the Aquafix by ACR:

Independent evaluation of different Epirbs: Note some of these have been improved since this test. http://www.equipped.com/406_beacon_test_toc.htm

Cheapest 406 epirb /w internal GPS I've found: http://www.roguewavemarine.com/ACR_27974_AQUAFIX_PLB_w_GPS-p-1164.html

Cheapest 121.5mhz Epirb: http://www.marine-electronics-unlim...ure+Personal+with+In%2DLine+Speaker.html

Cheapest plain 406mhz I've found: http://www.marine-electronics-unlimited.com/ACR+EPIRB+PLB+406+Personal+Locator+Beacon.html

This is a lot of money but I'm tempted to get the Aquafix after reading these websites.
