Mike,
This is the smallest PLB I know about, I have been told it sells round
the $700 price point with a 5 year approved battery shelf life V the GME
MT410G at about the same price point with a 7 year approved battery shelf
life, cheaper without the GPS. If size counts, and we are told it does :) in
this case smaller maybe the way to go with the knowledge that the penalty
for the size is a reduced approved battery life.

Subject: Re: [Aus-soaring] 406Mhz beacons
The McMurdo Model 210/211 beacon seems to be the smallest on the
market. Ideal for clipping to your parachute harness.
Latest news on the KTi Mini Sat is that after more design changes
they now expect approval in a couple of months. Apparently the rules
got changed twice during the design/approval process.
The Mini Sat loks good on battery shelf life and price. but is larger
than the McMurdo product.
Near as I can tell the Brits use the American model of the McMurdo,
the 210. Pity you can't import from the US for A$400.
