It's as easy as pushing a button, and with an internal GPS
receiver (GPS I/O version only), the TerraFix™ will acquire your GPS
position and transmit it along with your personalized identifier code
through the SARSAT satellites instantly alerting SAR forces that you
need help, immediately!
The TerraFix ™ works fast, if GPS data is present in the beacon's
first burst, SAR forces can be notified and start planning your rescue
in as little as three minutes.
Be Responsible, Be Prepare, Be Safe.
- Transmits on 406 MHz via the COSPAS-SARSAT satellite system
with your registered unique, digitally coded distress signal and 121.5
MHz (SAR local homing frequency).
- Onboard GPS (P/N 2798.4
only) acquires LAT/LON when the unit is activated, your LAT/LON is
transmitted as soon as acquired providing rescue agencies with your
exact position to within 100 meters (110 yards).
- GPS
Interface (NMEA 0183) allows you to download your GPS coordinates from
a hand-held GPS receiver into your PLB; when activated, your LAT/LON
will accompany your 406 MHz signal on the first burst, dramatically
saving valuable time for your distress message to reach local rescue
centers.
- Easily carried in a pack or pocket; small enough to
be worn by skiers, hikers, hunters, kayakers, climbers, pilots or any
outdoor enthusiast.

style and protection for your PLB; holster allows for multiple mounting
options on backpacks, webbing, and life vests.
