Hi all

As always, thanks for great information.

In case some of you have older McMurdo units, it might be worth while reading the test reports on Equipped To Survive.

Stumbled upon this, while searching for something else on the the Norwegian Rescue Service website.

Apparently an unlycky Norwegian Sailor was afloating in the Swedish coast
for six hours until rescued - due to his PLB did not perform as expected.
(text too long to translate, but you get the plot from looking at the pictures ;-)

What I really was looking for, was if I can buy a PLB abroad and register it in Norway.
(Norwegian retailers have a nasty tendency to multiply everything by PHI)
As far as I know, the answer is yes, but not found it litterally confirmed.
