    Hunting and fishing have a tiny one for $600 smaller than the fast find maybe 2/3 the size. Maybe half the size of an iphone and 30mm thick. Had a look at it when checking out the new Oamaru store early in the week.

    All the paper work with mine seems to indicate beacons are coded for both countries. The reg form has both nz and aus letter heads.

    Makes no difference where in the world you are or are registered to
    Once the sat picks it up, the 2nd pass determines hemisphere, then the info is passed from one dept to another if not in local
    They are all responded to, they don't look at it and say 'that's Gimp, he shouldn't be in NZ setting off his PLB as its reg in Au - fuck him'
    Brian, madmaori and stretch like this.
