So I personally think it's actually yourself that's not taking safety at sea seriously and you're trying to deflect that onto GME. What do you think? If you'd like to send it to me I will replace the batteries for $229 (same price as GME). I can buy them on AliExpress for $27 incl p&p. I won't do any of the other 67 checks that GME say they do cause (a) I don't know what they are; and (b) I don't have the specialised equipment. Fortunately you've already asserted that the unit has nothing wrong with it so I won't need to worry about your safety from failure of the unit. P

It's quite the opposite actually. These requirements are set in the EPIRB standards it's not something the GME have come up with. They aren't cutting corners, they know that there is a plethora of choice out there, they have nothing to gain by pissing you off, because they are following a standard, they know you could well go to another vendor. Would you prefer that they put new batteries in it took your money and sent you on your way with a "your epirb now doesn't meet the NZ safety standard, but she'll be right mate..." They probably just lost your business and lost revenue becau

I'll take a guess that most of the boats only use PHRF for SSANZ, none of the clubs use it for harbour racing.
