    Actually an 406mhz epirb with built in gps is 900. Hoewever the
    Magellean gsc-100 is also 900. It sends email thru a number of
    satelites. It also is a full featured gps and can be powered via solar
    panel on liferaft.

            1. When you are in liferaft send pre-authored help message with an
    automatic gps locatioin.

            2. When rescue progresses you are able to update your
    location(drifting) and conditions.

            3. Prior to sinking, it is a good way to send and receive email from
    boat at sea Monthly cost is 29
