Correct. Meets the legal requirement in the US. The PLB is a 406Mhz
unit. I was attempting to show how cheaply you could have the
advantages of both, so cheap that it doesn't make sense to not have them
onboard.
There are combo units for more money (the one listed just under it on
the same page, for example, is $583):

For about $875 you can have both the PLB and ELT that are on 406Mhz.
More money, better insurance.
