Hi all,

Anyone here familiar with mob-alerts and direction finders?
I saw this one:
http://www.landfallnavigation.com/seamarshall.html
I'd like to know if the (rather affordable) handheld will do the job
in heavy weather. I have doubts re the question if the waveheight
forces me to place an antenna up in the mast for succesfull
retrieval. Short periods of reception when the unlucky crewmember is
on the top of the waves could suffice.
I'll ask the manufacturer but for the obvious reason I value
cruisers experiences many times more.

Any experiences / other products / suggestions ?

Anyone ever did a Mob-operation in real life? What method did you
use / what did you learn the hard way?
When I read these magazines I tend to think they are about mob
situations in rather calm weather.

Fair winds, Len.
