With an AIS MOB, they will more quickly know where I am.". My answer is always the same and isn't likely to change for a while. "Those are very good points about AIS MOB, but since you are making me pick one, I'd get the EPIRB PLB.". "But …". You asked, I answered. If you are only going to buy one, get the EPIRB PLB.
AMRD Group A devices are used for safety purposes, transmitting on Channels AIS 1 and AIS 2, or Channel 70 DSC. They include the SART, MSLD, EPIRB described above, as well as the Mobile Aid to Navigation (see MMSIs for AIS Private Aids to Navigation). Recognizing the differences in the 3-digit prefix for these three devices might be crucial in
Proper registration of your 406 MHz satellite emergency position-indicating radio beacon (EPIRB) is intended to save your life, and is mandated by Federal Communications Commission regulations. The Coast Guard is enforcing this FCC registration rule. Your life may be saved as a result of registered emergency information.
When activated, ELTs, EPIRBs, and PLBs send a unique distress signal on the 406 MHz frequency to the Search and Rescue Satellites. Each beacon is programmed with and sends a unique digital code called a HEX ID or Unique ID. The HEX ID identifies the type of beacon and, Search and Rescue use the HEX ID to identify the beacon registration
Innovative, quick-change hydrostatic release mechanism. One-way mounting eliminates the possibility of installing EPIRB backwards. Integral de-activation magnet prevents the EPIRB from transmitting until deployed. Deploys EPIRB when submerged in water at a depth between 4.9 - 13.1 ft (1.5 - 4 m) Weight. 4.00 lbs. Dimensions. 6 × 5.00 × 15
Hoping some of you smart people might know whether money would be better spent, (and safety improved) with a tracker beacon like a De Lorme or Spot on the boat, rather than say an EPIRB. It strikes me that the tracker beacons do much the same thing and one can also include a message.
