    Hi Liveaboards Here's my first post after years of enjoyable lurking... I've got a little 27 foot coastal sailing yacht and I'm trying to decide what sort of EPIRB I should buy. I like the idea of a personal one like the ACR Satellite 406MHz Manual EPIRB (http://www.whitworths.com.au/main_itemdetail.asp?item=74538&search123=epirb&intAbsolutePage=1) that I can attach to my life jacket since I've already managed to fall overboard once. Or should I get a full size model like the GME 406 (http://www.whitworths.com.au/main_itemdetail.asp?item=74522&search123=epirb&intAbsolutePage=1)? These are on special for $400 Australian at the moment. What do the experts think? Also, how important is a built in GPS because I don't think that the little ACR has this? Thanks a lot Mark
