US authorities have banned single transceiver handheld radios

As written, this is not correct. Perhaps you could elaborate?

Correct! Unfortunately, we had no choice but to shut down production on the original Nautilus Radio. US authorities have banned single transceiver handheld radios and the EU changed the CE technical requirements for this class of radio. The problem with the MMSI numbers was also a major hurdle.

Man that really sucks for you guys.......and in the meanwhile anyone can go to Amazon or Walmart or any Marine Supplier any day of the week and buy a single transceiver handheld marine radio......just not one rated for depth. I have a SH-590 with GPS on my boat.

Wouldn't dive without mine! Even inland here in Manitoba I feel more secure having it to signal emergancy services from shore at our training lake where cell service is spotty.

Contacted them about the trade-in program.

What part is not correct? The FCC banned the manufacture of new marine VHF radios with only a single transceiver such as the original Nautilus Lifeline back in 2011.

Just curious as to how you are able to use your Lifeline on inland waters to signal emergency services?

I just sent my Marine Rescue GPS (MRG, Nautilus Lifeline generation 2) over to Nautilus Lifeline (RMA) in Richmond, BC, Canada via USPS.com that costs me $32.20. Assuming shipping cost via Canadian mail is the same as that of US mail, the total cost for trading in my old good working MRG with the new Nautilus Lifeline nexGen would be $199.40 ($135 + 2x$32.20). In the end it’s not worth it to trade-in my good working MRG with Nautilus Lifeline nexGen. I might as well just buy Nautilus Lifeline nexGen and keep my good working MRG as a back up to the new Nautilus Lifeline nexGen.

Good for you!

My brother just got his OWC. I could have handed the MRG down to him.
