@Markgibsonr25 ... WRONG!

Here's a few stories I have published over the last few years... SKIPPERSMATE TOO CHEAP FOR NEW ZEALAND RETAILERS - WHERE IS THE JUSTICE! - SkippersMate

This one was my first.... https://vhfradiocourse.com/new-zealand-epirb-plb-myths/

Can you please as the "shop employee" for just ONE example in the last 20 years for a delayed response... All I ask is for ONE ONLY EXAMPLE!

And here's an example off the ACR website... Au beacon activated and chopper overhead in under an hour... AUSTRALIAN CODED RESQLINK PLB BEACON SAVES TRAMPER IN NEW ZEALAND - SkippersMate

As I've said to heaps of other NZ buyers over the last 5 years, do you really think a Federal Govt SaR in Australia is going to take your registration and then take a coffee break when you activate it in NZ. We may have lost the rugby cup again and again again, but we do still love ya!

I'll stop the rant and am happy to talk to anyone if you want to... Did I tell you I've also been in each rescue centre in Canberra and Wellington and in the England one to see how the Global system works.
