UK MCA Free registration
Spoke to SVB and had it shipped without additional programming (55). Device arrived with default UK programming and I registered the device for free with the UK MCA. They support registration from a multitude of countries, so you don't have to live in the UK or register it to a specific boatMMSI. Great device which I hope to never use.

Good impression
Makes a good impression and has passed the functional tests. You never actually want to know whether it will work in an emergency.

obviously I haven't tried it... but it seems excellent to me
Really small size. Much less than a packet of cigarettes to be understood. But seeing and touching with hands transmits a feeling of solidity. In short, hoping to never have to use it, I feel I recommend it. Simple (simple) instructions in English along with plb c \\\ 'is a shell that should make it float.

False product information
The product comes with a Dutch registration HEX. They will change it for UK for 50 usds. But if you don't want it to be changed to the UK one, it will just arrive with prob a random ID, mine is Dutch. In the Netherlands, registering such a device is a paid service. I suggest you buy it form another more honest service that replies to your mails and helps you figure out if you are buying the correct device. I don't need a Dutch registration when I could just register where I live, for free.

Unfortunately, SVB is not able to register the device properly
I bought this device and am very disappointed. SVB sells the device and offers to register it. Unfortunately, that doesn't work at all. I strongly advise against buying such an expensive device and then sinking into chaos with countless registrations and unfortunately everything is faulty.

Interface unusable in an emergency.
It seems simple to use. Unfold antenna, press ON and hold to sky.
I had the device tied on my lifevest. I needed to use it swimming after a cap size.
The different flashes are confusing, I pushed the button several times. The device stopped flashing after a few minutes and couldn't be restarted at all.
