Mike -correct or other interesting twists - for example; Recently a crew of a boat in northern Australia were turned over by one of those rouge waves we hear about. The crew evacuated taking their EPIRB with them and tying it to the now inverted hull of their boat.
Problem - the boat sank, taking their EPIRB with it. Fortunately they had had the distress beacon on long enough for SAR action to be underway, and they were saved. Some of you may even remember the incident, the media reported they were saved by their esky lid.

The MT410 might be the one to go for. I presume the 3 activations that didn't result in rescues are all accidental/malicious etc? Or are they people who mamage to resolve their problems themselves?
