Griffo, I think you missed the subtle suggestion that if ASA had a few more ground stations and aircraft were equipped with ADSB out, ATC would be able to point the rescue teams very quickly to the last known position,
And maybe the Buzzbumbers dumb question is answered there too. ADSB makes a really good suppliment to a GPS based EPIRB.
And yes Buzzbomber, I do have both.
