Take a 406 MHz EPIRB, add a GPS and you have the new GPIRB. It's a smart self-locating beacon that can take the search out of search and rescue.

Advantages of the world's first GPIRB: • Instantaneous alerting through GEOSAR; no waiting for satellite-pass in the places you're most likely to be. • Adds latitude and longitude to your EPIRB signal for valuable drift calculation. • Uses COSPAS-SARSAT & GEOSAR systems.

This unique GPIRB comes from the same safety people who also bring you Satfind™ Survival 406 EPIRBs and

PLBs, the Alert™ Man-Overboard System and the world's finest handheld GMDSS and commercial VHF radios. nat nORTHERN aiRBORNE TECHNOLOGY
