Vinson and Parkhill wideband and narrowband secure voice systems.

ACR Has More EPIRBs

Aboard More Vessels

Across More Oceans

Than All Our Competitors

Combined. ^ .

When an angry sea turns into towering mountains of water, the last thing you want to doubt is your Emergency Position Indicating

Radio Beacon (EPIRB). ACR leaves no doubt. From recreational to commercial beacons, every ACR unit has to meet our own rigid stan- dards before it goes to sea. Standards that exceed those of worldwide marine authorities. That's why ACR is the most-selected EPIRB for commercial, military and recreational vessels throughout the world.

But there's another, more important reason for having ACR

EPIRBs aboard: They've saved more lives than all the others com- bined. Period. ©
