I think it is quite funny that on Yesterday I sat down to read a just released catalogue from a marine supplier that I buy from, and there is a new PLB listed. The ACR Aquafix PLB. Then when visiting ETS that night I noticed the PLB / EPIRB review has just been posted and there it was tested in the review.
Good timing Doug (and others)
I havent bought myself a PLB yet, and I was thinking of buying one after the christmas period is over with, so it was one of the first sections I checked out in the catalogue.
After reading the ETS review, I thought it was funny that the Mcmurdo Fast Find Plus PLB over here in Australia does not have the GPS antenna warning on the case like they do in the US now. I wonder if we are getting the modified version, or if they are off loading the older unmodified PLB's on our shores.
I have now made up my mind to buy the ACR Aquafix GPS PLB thanks to the review, and also the fact that the Mcmurdo Fast Find Plus retails down here for $1900 ish (Australian Dollars) and the ACR retails for $1200 ish which is cheaper than the non GPS Mcmurdo Fast Find.
By the time January gets here there should be a few more companys selling the ACR so I should be able to work on that price a bit too.

Thanks all those involved in the review and your timing is perfect <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
