The latter has more more limited transmission range but I went with the Horizon HX851 Floating Handheld VHF/GPS w/12 Channel GPS Reciever ( Welcome to StandardHorizon.com ): sends a digital signal over VHF. 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.
