The 121.5 Mhz homing device must be cheap because when the 406Mhz came legal we were all told to toss them as they are no longer "legal".

The fact that 121.5 Mhz is the International Distress frequency and all 406 beacons have a 121.5 homing frequency would appear to make chucking them out a waste of good money. My money included.

I bet Dick could get a Chinaman to build them for under a dollar?

He could also probably incorporate an electronic shark repellent device. I hear they work.
