EPIRB

  • Transmits on 406 MHz via the Cospas-Sarsat satellite system with your registered unique, digitally coded distress signal and 121.5 MHz (SAR local homing frequency).
  • Onboard GPS (P/N 2797.4 only) acquires LAT/LON when the unit is activated, your LAT/LON is transmitted as soon as acquired providing rescue agencies with your exact position to within 100 meters (110 yards).
  • GPS Interface (NMEA 0183) allows you to download your GPS coordinates from a hand-held GPS receiver into your PLB; when activated, your LAT/LON will accompany your 406 MHz signal on the first burst, dramatically saving valuable time for your distress message to reach local rescue centers.
  • Easily carried in a pack or on a life jacket; small enough to wear on deck by yachting racers, crew, solo cruisers, or any marine enthusiast.
  • Removable holster provides functionality, style and protection for your PLB; holster allows for multiple mounting options on backpacks, webbing, and life vests.
  • Full functional self test of internal circuitry, battery power, 406 MHz transmission, and GPS* acquisition (*P/N 2797.4 only).
  • Flat, stainless steel antenna wraps compactly around the unit for easy stowage; is easily positioned when needed.
  • Floats to avoid loss if dropped in water, exceeds RTCM waterproof requirements.
