Fastfind 406 PLB
The smallest and
lightest Personal Location Beacon in the world
The Fastfind
standard 406MHz Personal Location Beacon has all the features of the
Fastfind Plus but without GPS. The 406MHz frequency provides an alert
signal to the rescue services within 90 minutes maximum, depending on
satellite passes and gives a positional accuracy within 3nm. Once in the
vicinity the 121.5MHz transmitter provides a signal for the rescue
services to home-in on. This information is more than sufficient to enable
rescue services to find a vessel or individual in distress particularly if
equipped with flares and lifejacket light. |
