Fastfind 406 PLB EPIRB

Fastfind PLB 82-826-004A
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 its GPS. Because the Fastfind determines its own position from satellites, it can take up to 90 minutes for it to locate you and transmit your position, depending on satellite passes, and it gives a positional accuracy within 3nm. Its 121.5MHz transmitter provides a signal for the rescue services to home-in on. This information is sufficient to enable rescue services to find a vessel or individual in distress, particularly if equipped with flares and lifejacket light. Weighs 9 ounces, measures 3" x 6" x 2.1". FCC Approved July 1, 2003
