[QUOTE="David-Karratha, post: 627980, member: 22207"] Interesting. I wonder if storing the epirb in a faraday bag would be as effective (and perhaps a little lighter) than using a metal container? The only info I can find on the effectiveness of faraday bags, is a test by ECU where they tested their effectiveness at blocking 3G and 4g phone signals. Im guessing that the inverse square law however, would mean that the detector coil signal would be squillions of times stronger than that. Another option that I was wondering about was to simply wrap the epirb with foil. I tried looking around the intertubes to see if this was plausible, however virtually all I could find was stuff from conspiracy theorists, who were either trying to hide from men in black suits, or constructing hats to keep the aliens from implanting ideas (or apparently any kind of common sense or logic) into their brains. Are there any technical folk here whod be able to provide any guidance on this? I carry enough weight in my backpack as it is, not sure I want to add a tin can as well. [/QUOTE]
