I searched for it but cant find a seller, but I did see a page saying that KTI PLBs have been discontinued which is a bummer. 10 yr battery life is very economical. My old ACR ResQLink 375 has 'expired'. Supposedly a battery change should only cost 15 dollars but the way the system works it turns out costing a couple hundred to do a battery replacement. https://advrider.com/f/threads/acr-r...cement.749245/

Either way right now deciding if i should replace my plb or get it serviced.

GME looks ok with 7 yr battery warranty, 480 nzd https://www.mobilesystems.co.nz/prod...ocator_Beacon)

Ocean signal Rescueme looks even better 7 yr battery warranty, cheaper at 400 nzd. https://skippersmate.co.nz/ocean-sig...ocator-beacon/

Need to shop around as some websites sell the same product at over 100 dollars more than others.
