ACR 406 MHz EPIRB rental from BoatUS Foundation
McMurdo 406 MHz GPS-Enabled EPIRB rental from BoatUS Foundation

ACR 406 MHz EPIRB

An activated EPIRB broadcasts a repeating SOS signal detected from virtually any point on earth. COSPAS/SARSAT satellites triangulate your position down to about a 1 mile range after several passes. Search and rescue personnel contact BoatUS for critical rental information and then send out appropriate rescue equipment.

McMurdo 406 MHz GPS-Enabled EPIRB

An activated GPS EPIRB has all the functions of an EPIRB with the added benefit of an internal GPS. This feature enables the EPIRB to identify its position down to few hundred yards and transmit that position to the initial satellite. By providing a quicker more accurate positioning the equipment should reduce search and rescue response time.
