406-mHz ELT or PLB: location accuracy 100 meters
ELT cost: $650+

I am pretty sure Fossett had an ELT. Imagine how quickly he could have been found with a Spot.
And I am even more sure that MH370 had an ELT...
ELT/PLBs are good addition to Spot/Inreach. But it will be totally silly to invest in those instead of Spot/Inreach.
