Hi Mike
Turf it, not the same. The older systems only transmitted on the lower
frequency (121.5), not on the 406 used today. And it won't have a GPS,
so the location accuracy is a lot more vague since they have to use
satellite triangulation to figure out where you are.
Plus it is 30 years old - do you want that to be your last, best hope?

Hmmm
That reminds me. Last month I came across an unused EPIRB that my Dad
bought in the early 80s. Is the technology still the sme and would it
be worthwhile replacing the batter?

All,
I need to buy a new EPIRB - the current one is too old for a battery
replacement. (I'll keep it as a spare as long as it tests OK.)
I am looking at a Type II with GPS. ACR has 2 models. One has "idiot
lights"; the other has a digital display. The digital display is
$180. more. The more expensive one has a better rebate, but I don't
need 2 of the 3 freebies. I can take the $50 cash rebate on the
cheaper one and get what I need.
Would you buy the cheaper one or go for the fancy display?
Here they are:
