There must be stats on the actual use of the Emergency in real life rescues, compared to the number of false alarms. Anyone know?



Given that many situations are classified, no.



Yeah, neat.

This thread is getting a bit too long at 14 pages. Any chance, now we are over the anticipation, that a new thread on member reactions might be started?

It looks good in those live shots too, although I agree that the crown looks very high and rather small in side profile. The little green/red LED is a nice touch, but I find it a bit concerning that even though you can charge it yourself (also a great feature), the batteries still only last 2 years looking at the expiry date on the caseback. And as was said above, that's likely to be pretty expensive.

I think that buying into the new Emergency will be like buying a house - a very expensive business, with regular payments emptying your wallet.

Shame there was no wrist shot in those live pictures too.

I think it looks great. It's not for me, but the live shots look good.

Nice one Jimbob! :thumbsup: That looks a lot better and more managable than I thought it would. It really is a fine looking piece.

Excuse my lack of knowledge... as far as the transmitter is concerned, how does a "dual transmitter" benefit over its predecessors?

This is all the background you'll need -

http://www.aopa.org/advocacy/articles/2 ... 22elt.html

Essentially, despite 406 being the "official" frequency, both frequencies will be picked up and will therefore help the emergency services find you, so .... which is a good thing.

That thing is a MONSTER!! I also love the look. Did anyone else think the hour hand looks a little short? Maybe it's just me being picky... Anyway, this is way out of my budget and lifestyle.

Sorry if I have missed them but, are there any pictures of the package i.e. does it come in a briefcase and if so, what else, apart from the docking station, is supplied?
