I figure where I go I am never more than 3-5 miles from nearest potential rescue boat. You need an MMSI number. No annual subscription fees either. |
Hey Phil, I have an ACR PLB for emergency signal transmission but wanted something to back up my on board GPS as well as something I can take when I go one someone elses boat.
