I think that the built in models have twice the battery run time as compared to the portables. Coastal use, the portable makes more sense, if there is the possibility of falling overboard. In USA, the ACR brand is the most used.

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
