AquaFix 406
406 MHz GPS I Personal EPIRB
GPS Interface
- Transmits on 406 MHz via the COSPAS-SARSAT satellite system with your registered unique, digitally coded distress signal and 121.5 MHz (SAR homing frequency)
- GPS interface (NMEA 0183) allows you to download your GPS coordinates from a GPS receiver into your P-EPIRB; 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
- Full functional self test of internal circuitry, battery power, 406 MHz transmission
- Smallest and most functional P-EPIRB available; can be 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 P-EPIRB; allows for multiple mounting options to backpacks, belt, webbing, and life vests
- Flat, stainless steel antenna wraps compactly around the unit for easy stowage; and is ready for rapid deployment
- Floats to avoid loss if dropped in water, exceeds RTCM waterproof requirements
