To activate properly you have to pull (hard) to remove the cap, this lets the antenna unravel with a suitably impressive boing and reveals the on button.

The test button, unusually for a beacon, is also the cancel button.

Under the cap is an entire area which lights up when flashing the morse code for "help help, send helicopters and rum".

The floating pouch of delights is designed to hold the activated device with the antenna out and the GPS receiver face up, not that I think this would last in a F8 mind you.

Careful, I read one post and KY popped her foul mouth in and it made me blush! Never again.

On a more serious note, I wonder if backwards auctions would be better? Various retailers all working their way down until people start to order. Obviously only works with limited numbers.

No worries Tony - you are most welcome - glad you've joined the eBay EPIRB Club - it's an exclusive membership

Malthouse the Buy it Now price was £165 but Nick was taking offers at £140 - unless Tony had waded through piles of the usual RIBnet waffle he wouldn't have known.

Tony - if you go back to him and explain you are part of the bulk buy he might well let you off the extra - he's been extremely helpful so far

lol - tempted - but I might get lynched at the Christmas dinner

From the few emails I had it looks like most if not all of the 14 he has sold have come through RIBnet - am seriously hoping they are okay otherwise I might not even get to the Christmas dinner

Tony - he's a decent chap - so I'm sure he will help - if you need me to send an email to confirm you were part of the Bulk Buy mob just shout

Really looking forward to May - just hope I can organise something marginally more successful than a Bulk Buy - I must be mad
