Re: EPIRB advice please!

A few thoughts:
You can change the battery on a McMurdo PLB yourself and the new battery costs costs approx £60.
ACR Epirbs have to go to a service centre for a new battery which costs around £200/£250 depending on the model.
Buy from the dealer with the most up to date batteries in their units. I looked at one on offer in a well known chandlery and the battery only had around 30 months left on it, instead of 60.
