Thread: PLB and GPS or just an inReach?

As on another thread, my GPS62s seems to have gone to the basecamp in the sky, fades out and dies when turning on, which seems like a familiar analogy.... My PLB battery expired in Feb, although it still tests OK, it seems that I could win a Darwin award if I knowingly rely on an expired battery for the PLB function...

So - should I - :

1/ replace the PLB battery and get a new GPS, - if so which one?

2/ Forget the PLB and just get an inReach Explorer?

The context is a few multi day trips a year in places with no cell coverage.

Thanks.
