Smallest and most functional PLB available so it can be easily carried in a pack or pocket; small enough to be worn by skiers, hikers, hunters, kayakers, climbers, pilots or any outdoor enthusiast. Floats to avoid loss if dropped in water, waterproof to 33 ft (11 m).
Transmits on 406 MHz via the COSPAS-SARSAT satellite system with your registered unique digitally coded distress signal and 121.5 MHz (SAR homing frequency) Functional test for battery power, 406 MHz transmission, and GPS acquisition. Flat, stainless steel antenna wraps compactly around the unit for easy stowage; is easily positioned when needed.
GPS interface (NMEA 0183) allows you to download your GPS coordinates from a hand-held GPS receiver into your PLB; when activated, your LAT/LON will accompany your 406 MHz signal on the first burst, dramatically saving valuable time for your distress message to reach local rescue centers. Internal GPS (P/N 2798.4 only) acquires LAT/LON when the unit is activated (if externally obtained GPS coordinates are not present), your LAT/LON are transmitted providing rescue agencies with your exact position to within 110 yards (100 m).
Removable holster provides functionality, style and protection for your PLB; carabiner clip allows for multiple mounting options on backpacks, webbing, and life vests.
