Radio gang,
I saw a patient today who is a sailor. He was wearing this watch, called
the Breitling Emergency. See the silver cap about the size of a automobile
tire air cap? If you unscrew the cap and pull out the 3 foot long antenna,
it starts sending an emergency radio signal for 48 hours (no GSP
coordinates), but it can be heard for 100 miles).
Here is a link to it:
