    EPIRB Malfuction

    Sunday, June 10, 2012    

    Please if one of our readers experienced a malfunctioning EPIRB this morning at approximately 0149hrs, and made a call on VHF 16 to advise it was malfunctioning, could you please take it back to the place of purchase to forward back to the manufacturer. Apparently this beacon (which appears to be unregistered with AMSA) has gone off several times in the last couple of months. It is not your fault but each time it goes off search operations are undertaken, which cost considerable amounts of money.
