I visited Breitling store in NYC

[bmt216a]

Hello,

When I was in New York over xmas, I had a look around the Breitling store just off 5th Avenue. When I tried the Superocean on, the sale's lady saw my yellow faced Emergency. I asked if you can still buy this model to which her response was they have discontinued that model as they are trying to design a new transmiter to cater for recent changes. The thing that gets me is why do Breitling still advertise the Emergency on their website???

Why do BA use Concorde in their adverts? Halo effect.

406mhz emergency in the works???

I asked if I could upgrade the transmiter, she didn't have an answer...

The idea of a new Emergency has been in the works for at least a couple of years now. They're going to struggle though as transmitting on 406MHz requires a lot more power than 121.5MHz; and then there's the requirement of modern ELTs to transmit one's GPS coordinates on 406MHz too...
