AquaFix™ 406 GPS I/O Personal Locator Beacon
Product Description
Rapid rescue at your fingertips!
On land or sea, the AquaFix 406 I/O puts rescue in the palm of your hand. When activated, it transmits a personally registered, digitally coded distress signal on 406MHz via the COSPAS-SARSAT satellite system. The internal GPS uses FastACQ™ technology to acquire your position to within 100 meters, which it sends to rescue agencies along with the distress signal. This PLB may also be connected to an external GPS so that when activated, your LAT/LONG will accompany the 406 MHz signal on the first burst to shorten the time it takes to reach local rescue centers. The rugged polycarbonate housing is waterproof and it floats. Includes a holster for mounting on PFDs, foul weather gear or safety harnesses.
