MT400 EPIRB
Manually Activated 406/121.5 MHz Beacon
In 2005 GME revolutionised the EPIRB world with the introduction of the GME MT400, the first truly affordable 406 MHz emergency beacon.
The MT400 is provided with an easy release bulkhead mounting bracket. Once removed from the mounting, the beacon can be switched on manually.
Advantages of a 406 MHz EPIRB over the older analogue EPIRBs include worldwide coverage, position location accuracy to within 5 kms, and a more stable transmitted signal resulting in minimum detection time. Most importantly the addition of a unique digitally encoded message. This provides Search and Rescue authorities with vital information including the country of beacon registration and the identification of the vessel in distress. Incidences of false alerts are also greatly reduced along with the unnecessary deployment of valuable rescue resources. An auxiliary homing transmitter is included in the MT400 to enable suitably equipped Search and Rescue forces to home in on the distress beacon.
