I've had to update my epirb like everyone else. Regarding my old one. Rather than getting rid of it, does anyone know what I have to do so that I can just use the strobe light for a marker out at the reef, while drifting. Perfect for this but what wires do I cut so a Blackhawk helicopter doesn't come and hover over me? Or do I wait till next year when they stop monitoring the frequency/unit and just turn it on? Big Brother is always watching. Paul

I would imagine that severing the wires to the antenna will stop it transmitting anything.

1. Be smart and get rid of it all together

2. Battery world is missing you

If you really want a strobe, there are plenty of stand-alone units available.
