I prefer the whistle over the air horn because:
1. I can get to it FAST (ie, I don't have to remember which storage hatch its in and then leave the helm to dig it out). Besides the ones on the PFDs, there's one clipped on the helm dash.
2. Whistles don't run out of air. I've had them leak at the seal.
3. In a multi-soul MOB situation, everybody has a whistle.
I’m going to get one of those whistles because I just replaced an air horn because when I tested my old one that I had for 8 years it didn’t work. As long as I don’t run out of air it will be better. Larry W.
