Like the trend in most other electronics the performance, size and cost are being improved all the time. While shopping for a new boat epirb I came across this new pocket size personal eprib. I have have one of the older larger personal epribs and toss it in my bag when I go on someone else's boat (just in case). It makes me feel a little more safe. IMO most people don't do this because the cost was pretty high. But now with the new cell phone sized unit with the street price under $300 there is no excuse not to have one. This is a review of the unit that a friend sent me I thought I would pass it along. IMO this is perfect for rec fishermen...the CC guy who does not want to break the bank for a few offshore trips. This makes a lot of sense to carry around.
