No I call to have it repaired and updated and I was advised that the technology 
was too old and wouldn’t be worth it.  So it got crushed.

Standard checklist procedure in the aviation world from private pilot level 
is to check emergency frequency on radio at startup to ensure yours has not 
been set off by bad circuitry and at shutdown in case a hard landing.

False alarms happen in this world too.
Maybe this check proceedure should be added to radio checklist for boating 
and marine radio training course?

Reminds me of the time we were visiting the Etobicoke Yacht Club.  We were 
getting ready to leave and we kept hearing this beep, beep and couldn’t 
figure out where it was coming from.  Before we could get away some friends 
stopped by and we had a coffee.  I ask them if they could hear that 
annoying beep.  They could but they also could not determine where it was 
coming from.  While we were enjoying our coffee the DO came knocking and 
asked if we new the coast guard was looking for us and apparently everyone 
on Lake Ontario as well.  We didn’t.  He informed us that our EPIRB had 
gone off .  Upon investigation I found that the little pill that dissolves 
in water had deteriorated.  I immediately pulled the battery, and hailed 
the coast guard tp call off the posse.


What’s amazing is that I had never register the EPRIB when I bought 
Persuasion.  The coast guard called the previous owner who gave them my name.


So thank you Marek for bringing this to everyone’s attention.

Conclusion; if you have an EPRIB or any other such devise and are not 
actively sailing SHUT IT OFF.

This might be of interest to some of us.

Apparently there are quite a few false alarms for EPIRB (and similar 
systems). there was an interesting blurb regarding this problem at Sail Feed:

Yep, my dad was in the Civil Air Patrol for many years and would be called out 
to look for crashed planes only to find the emitter sitting on a work bench 
behind some guy's house.  Probably not the same EPIRB system, but same 
concept...
