A personal ELT-esque device would probably be a very wise addition.
Thank
you for the suggestion.

Jay, these are not ELTs. They are 406 MHz beacons. They can be picked
up by GEO satellites and if GPS equipped like mine is ( I fly in the
Rockies) they can know your exact location in a few minutes instead of
many square miles in hours with a 121.5 Mhz ELT.

Mine is McMurdo Fastfind Plus.

Ron,

Thanks for the clarification.
