Description
The McMurdo FastFind Return Link is a 406 MHz personal locator beacon with GPS and Galileo receivers and Galileo Return Link Service. When activated it transmits your unique ID and GNSS position via Cospas-Sarsat and a 121.5 MHz homing signal. Once the alert and location have been received, the beacon can flash a blue light - typically after about 10 minutes - to confirm that professional rescue services know your situation. There are no subscription fees. Battery storage life is 5 years from the date of manufacture, with more than 24 hours of continuous operation at -20 C. The PLB is Category 2 and will not float unless it is held in the buoyancy pouch provided. Check the Cospas-Sarsat list of administrations that allow RLS-enabled beacons before purchase or travel.
