The
GME MT401 406 MHz digital EPIRB is the culmination
of three years of extensive R & D by GME engineers.
The end result is a radical new design concept that
is not only a significant improvement on existing
beacon performance, but dramatically slashes the cost
of 406 MHz EPIRB ownership.
The
MT401 also includes a water activation feature. Once
it has been removed from its mounting bracket, the
MT401 will activate automatically on immersion in
water. Of course you can also activate it manually
if required.
Advantages
of a 406 MHZ EPIRB over the older analogue EPIRBs
include world wide coverage, position location accuracy
to within 5 kms and a more stable transmitted signal
resulting in faster response time. Most importantly,
the addition of a unique digitally coded message provides
Search and Rescue authorities with vital information
including the country of beacon registration and identification
of the vessel in distress thus greatly reducing the
incidence of false alerts and unneccesary deployment
of valuable rescue resources.
An
auxiliary homing transmitter is included in the MT401
to enable suitable equipped Search and Rescue forces
to home on the distress beacon. |
