Nautilus LifeLine nexGen available

Good for you!

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

I agree with you. Even without free shipping, better to keep the older one. But the $199 offer is pretty damn good!

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

To be perfectly honest this is an absolute assumption on my part as I've never been able to find documented confirmation of frequencies monitored.

With numerous and large lakes the two provinces I dive in (Manitoba and Ontario) have water based Search and Rescue Services attached to official Fire and Ambulance services altough Coast Guard services are too far away here.

I have always presumed that international standard emergancy frequencies are being monitored.

Thank you for asking though... I'm going to ask some friends on local S&R, police and fire department services to ask.

If the lakes are big enough for boats equipped with DSC / AIS technology on VHF radios then they will receive your MOB signal.

I tried to see on the Nautilus Nexgen company website what, is it user replaceable batteries used. I also could not see if it was a lithium type battery and of where one could buy a replacement. Cost and shipping, tax, duty, if not found in local store. I thought I saw where it says batteries not included. The company is in BC Canada and I reside in California USA.

Looked again and got the pdf file. Uses 2 ea a CR 123 Lithium Battery at about $10 US currency. Smart looks like you could get those at a local mom an pop store. Maybe also the physical battery dimensions, look like what is used in other common devices people use like cameras. So even if batteries are not included it is a small cost.

The same batteries used in the gen 2 (MRG), nexGen being a gen 3.

Has Nautilus considered making an actual PLB that is diveable?

+1 to the question above. As unsure how Nautilus would work in a less developed location...

Nice. I have a gen1 Lifeline and just sent mail about trading up.

I did too.

Same as in a more developed nation. Radios are universal. Most boats have radios.
