1224.0. "Narco EPIRBs" by MPGS::KTISTAKIS (Mike K.) Tue May 30 1989 12:40

    I have a NARCO EPIRB which came with the boat.The battery is still
    good at this time since I have test it (during the first 5 min.of
    the hour legal testing time)but I don't have any indication or
    document to tell me the expiration date of the present battery,and
    I would like to change it and keep track of the life of the battery
    myself.EPIRB battery change has to be done by an authorized dealer
    or the manufacturer as I understand it and I cannot locate either,
    if they even exist.Can I have another service or another EPIRB
    manufacturer change it and if yes, who ?
    
    
    Thanx

1224.1NARCO defunct?MSCSSE::BERENSAlan BerensWed May 31 1989 11:504
There is no listing for NARCO in the 1989 SAIL equipment and suppliers 
magazine nor I have seen any NARCO ads in years. You may be out of luck. 
ACR makes a nice little EPIRB available for under $200.
