GME EPIRB MT401 WATER AND MANUALLY
Description
-
The GME MT401 digital Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacons (EPIRB) are designed for use when the safety ot your craft and crew is endangered and you have no others on board by leading an air/sea rescue to your precise location. In the past, extensive and lenghty searches have been carried out of missing craft, sometimes to no avail. Your GME EPIRB is a self contained 406 Mhz radio transmitter that emits an internationally-recognized distress signal on frequency monitored by the COSPAS-SARSAT satellite system. The MT401 contain a unique identity code which can be cross referenced to database of registered 406 Mhz beacons, allowing the beacon’s owner or vessel to be immadiately identified in the evet of an emergency. Both models can be manually activited by the operator in an emergency situation. The MT401 will also automatically activate out of the mounting bracket if it is floated in water. Additionally each includes a ultra high performance solid state strobe and 121.5 Mhz VHF homing beacon to assist in leading rescuers to your precise location.
