This is the kit you carry and pray it never is used. The new freq. Personal locator beacon. PLB. Awesome - weight 250g, not even I mind carrying that. Sends signal via satellite and this model transmits your GPS location accurate to 40m. Now the unbelievable bit. Cost is $600 but the BWRS website indicated the Snowy Mt NPWS offices loan them. Incredible but the cost was $20 bond, $10 rental for the entire trip. No I haven't forgotten a 0! Normally 3 week max hire but the manager was happy to make an exception for the AAWT.
