I do find it strange that in this day and age, my phone can tell me where I am yet we can't give these chaps and chappesses a simple PLB that is water activated or is automatically fired on an accelerometer.
No NVGs and now it appears they were equipped with PLBs that required manual activation rather than Saltwater! my guess this all comes down to COST

If this is the case I Hope all this will come out in the AAIU investigation.
