[QUOTE="Cranky Emu, post: 627984, member: 10949"] Wrapping or enclosing an EPIRB/PLB in foil, tin or whatever defeats the purpose of carrying one in the first place. A totally foolish notion - one that could possibly cost you your life. The reason you carry an EPIRB is so you can summon help (RCC) in an emergency (life-threatening) situation. The easier it is for you to access and activate the beacon, the greater your chances of survival. Not having to dick around unwrapping or unpacking it first - which in some instances may be impossible for you to do. If you have the EPIRB mounted on your harness near your shoulder for example, the chances of a detector setting it off would be very remote. [/QUOTE]
