GME MT603G 406MHz Manual & Water Activated EPIRB with GPS

GME MT603G 604MHz Manual & Water Activated EPIRB with GPS is a Class 2 EPIRB with a 6 year battery life and comprehensive self testing functions. Its GPS Receiver functions on 66 Channels and reduces the search area down to 100m which, combined with a 121.5MHz VHF homing beacon, dramatically decreases search time and thus speeds up recovery time, which could be a life saver.

The water activation triggers when the unit is out of its bracket and in the water, with the manual activation present for use at the boater's discretion.
