no doubt
also, just to add more info, here's how the beacon works. after you buy it, you register it with NOAA and SARSAT. the instructions to do that come with the beacon. each beacon has a unique ID number, which will be tied to your registration. registration is free and is good for 2 years. you'll get a reminder email when its time to renew.
when the beacon is activated, SAR will instantly have the following info:
LAT/LON on the location of the beacon
your name, address, emergency contact info and the make/model/color of your boat
there is a safe-mode test you can periodically perform to make sure it is working.

For a $400 product, i'd probably have 2 of them on the boat if i had a 150-200k offshore rig and spent a thousand dollars everytime i took her out for a spin.
