Termination of 121.5 MHz Beacons for Satellite Alerting is Coming Soon

We all knew (or should have) this was coming.

Anyone know current prices on the 400 MHz replacements?

In typical Aviaton style, inordinately expensive. A top of the line
water activated, GPS enabled, marine EPIRB is $1000. The minimum
LEGAL replacement for the old TSOC C91 elts is $1600 or so (there
are some cheaper ones but they lack the G switch). If you want the
NAV reporting feature, it will cost you $3600 and you have to provide
the GPS elsewhere in the plane.
