This Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon (EPIRB) will be an absolute lifesaver if you encounter any life threatening situation while out at sea. Includes a 66 channel GPS receiver for accurate position locating as well as a short range VHF beacon for pinpointing your location. Although it is designed for Australia and New Zealand, it is certified for use anywhere in the world. The battery life is guaranteed for 10 years and a full functionality test can be performed with the simple press of a button.

Features:
• 406MHz EPIRB beacon
• 121.5MHz short range beacon
• Quad mounted helix antenna automatically deploys when removed from bracket
• Quick Release Mounting bracket
• Zero warm-up technology
• High performance solid state strobe

Above Copy/Paste from RTM listing, from a quick search seems to be the best price going for an EPIRB with GPS, also the cheapest I've see so possible ATL.

  Can this be used on hiking trips? Or is it too big. Would like a similar deal for a PLB

        Worth a look, I have seen them offered in WA, and I think TAS.
        EDIT: seems I misrembered and it must have been for hire.

          @mskeggs: Yeah I can't find much other than in NSW. Some companies do hire them, but its like $50 per hire, at that point I feel I may as well get one.

            @Boioioioi: This one is the size of a brick and weighs half a kilo, so not suitable for hiking. But the small hiking ones are 3 times the price!

  The small plb is only $100 more and sometimes less.

      I recommend Ocean Signal RescueMe PLB1.
      Its the smallest PLB available in Aus.
      https://www.snowys.com.au/rescueme-plb1
      Can be had for about $320-340 on ebay.

    There's different standards for marine EPIRB vs PLB. These ones float upright and are required on boats and have the mounts.

      This is not float free. It is manually activated.

        Never said it was, I said it floats upright with the antenna facing the sky. A PLB may float however it won't float with the antenna facing up.
