DISCONTINUED
Accidents happen every day on the water, whether your boat goes down, crew lost, man overboard, or a storm has left your boat incapacitated. On the water, a minor problem instantly can become a life threatening situation if you're not prepared.
Small and lightweight, this PLB is easily attachable to clothing and equipment, giving you peace of mind knowing it is with you at all times. Now you can turn that life threatening situation into a successful rescue story. It's as easy as pushing a button, and with an internal GPS receiver the ResQFix™ will acquire your GPS position and transmit it along with your personalized identifier code through the Cospas-Sarsat satellites, instantly alerting Search and Rescue forces that you need help, immediately! The ResQFix™ works fast - if GPS data is present in the beacon's first transmission, SAR forces can be notified and start planning your rescue in as little as three minutes.
