Easy to install and program.

I didn't have to use it in anger; I didn't fall off the boat and shouldn't have been rescued. But there were no problems with online programming, installation and testing.

Pros
  • sequins
Cons
  • everything is fine

Expensive for one time use.

I'm not happy I lost a few small things to reset, reprogram and reinstall and I didn't get a reply on the replacement. These are things that could get lost if you actually had to use them.

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • Vulgarity

Attention, short compatibility list!

Does not work with B&G V50! I recently bought 2 Mob1. After I set them up with my MMSI radios they are not tested. I contacted Ocean Signal and was told that the B&G V50 is ignoring MOB1's DSC signal. This is a new radio station with updated software that conforms to DSC standards. Very disappointed.

Pros
  • Easy installation
Cons
  • Upgradable

Looks like a worthy purchase

Looking good. It was easy to set up and fit into the lifebuoy. Wasn't overly bulky and didn't interfere with movement. It wasn't possible to enter the MMSI number with my laptop, but I did it with my iPad without any problems. The test procedures were successful. Impossible to rate this five stars without having to use it in an emergency, which I don't want to do.

Pros
  • Dope 🔥
Cons
  • Unfashionable

Best way to install MOB

I would like to reiterate what was said before about verifying compatibility with your hardware and using test features before putting your life in the hands of this device. The DSC function didn't work with my standard Horizon GX-1700 (despite it being listed as compatible on their website). The device was purchased in 2015. I'm still awaiting a response from Standard Horizon as to whether a firmware update will fix the problem (which I have to pay for and send back to the factory). I then…

Pros
  • Inspires confidence
Cons
  • Something is wrong
