406 MHz PLBs
PLBs (Personal Locator Beacons) are
completely self-contained radio transmitters designed for emergency use. When
activated, they transmit an internationally recognised distress signal. They are
designed to be used when the safety of you, your craft or your crew is
endangered and you have no other means of communication ie life threatening.
Suitable for use on water for personal use, bushwalking or 4WDIng. Note some
yachting or boating craft may need a EPIRB as well.
We offer a range of PLB units:
