We've had the 406 here in New Zealand for a couple of years now. In
many cases / places, even once you push the alarm, you can still be
waiting for a satellite to come over & pick it up. ( a bit like RAIM
outages, I think.) I have the mandatory 406mhz ELT, but the Artex
model currently has an AD as there have been a number G switch
failures. So we now have 6 month compulsory testing. (urgh -more
expense!)
I also have a couple of the very compact & neat McMurdo fastfinds
for personal use. The neoprene cover means it floats. Lovely &
small, & I simply put it around my neck if flying over water.
But our main device for safety is the Spidertracks. Although it
costs a bit on every flight, we have the comfort of knowing that the
plane is tracked globally, and that the emergency services are
alerted pretty much instantly we press the alarm.
Not only that but we also get global text messaging with it via
bluetooth!
My wife loves it because she can track the plane via the web any
time (or I can, if she's flying.)

Now flying again after the 2 wettest months in memory.
