HEX ID

15 digit hexadecimal number which uniquely identifies your 406MHz beacon. In the event that your beacon gets activated, the HEX ID is encoded in the message your beacon transmits to search and rescue services.

You can find your beacon’s Hex ID on a label affixed to the beacon or in the documentation provided by the manufacturer.

The Hex ID contains the country code along with other identification features, and can identify the carrier using the radio call sign, a serial number, aircraft registration marking, etc.
