ResQFix 406 PLB
Accidents happen every day on
the water, whether your boat goes down,
crew lost, man overboard, or a storm
has left your boat incapacitated. On
the water, a minor problem instantly
can become a life threatening situation
if you’re not prepared.
Put the power in the palm of
your hand with ResQFix™ 406 Personal
Locator Beacon. The smallest,
lightest PLB available is easily attachable
to clothing and equipment, giving you
peace of mind knowing it is with you at all times.
Now you can turn that life threatening situation
into a successful rescue story.
It’s as easy as pushing a
button, and with an internal GPS
receiver the ResQFix™ will acquire
your GPS position and transmit it along with
your personalized identifier code through the
COSPAS-SARSAT satellites instantly alerting
Search and Rescue forces that you need
help, immediately!
The ResQFix™ works fast, if
GPS data is present in the beacon’s
first transmission, SAR forces can be
notified and start planning your rescue
in as little as three minutes.
