Be sure to check wit them and see if that price includes their GPS
encoder. I don't think it does.

You really should try and get one with a built in GPS or at least and
encoder which interfaces with the aircraft GPS. That way the
geostationary satalites will know where you are and you won't be waiting
for passes from moving satalites before SAR can be sent out after you.

BTW, if you do go with Artex, the retailers sell it cheaper than the
company. I saw the basic 406 box (no GPS encoder) in either Aircraft
Spruce or Chief Aircraft's catalog recently. They did not sell the
encoder. You may have to get that from the company.

Personally, I'm waiting for Pointer's all in one box.
