I also have one of the new PLBs on my parachute harness but understand that
it does not satisfy the US Competition requirement for an ELT in 2006 since
it is not "g" activated.

Since response to 121.5 MHz ELTs is scheduled to end in 3 years, I
purchase a 406 MHz PLB w/ built in GPS for $500 USD ($550 before
rebate - - which I haven't received yet!). This unit must be tripped
manually, is registered to me, and can attach to parachute harness etc.

good luck
