Prepare for marine emergencies

When you’ve used up all your options to save yourself, the reliable
GME Accusat MT603G 406MHz GPS EPIRB will get you the help you
need during an emergency.

Why Have an EPIRB?
An EPIRB can save your life and the lives of others on board by
providing rescue authorities your precise location in the event of
an emergency. GME EPIRBs are self-contained 406 MHz radio
transmitters that emit an internationally recognised distress
signal on the COSPAS-SARSAT satellite system.

The GME Accusat MT603G 406MHz GPS EPIRB contains a unique
identity code which can be cross referenced to a database of
registered 406 MHz beacons, allowing the beacon’s owner and vessel
to be immediately identified in the event of an emergency.

GPS Equipped
The GME Accusat MT603G 406MHz GPS EPIRB features an integrated 66
channel GPS receiver which automatically acquires the position and
relays the latitude and longitude of the beacon along with the
personal identifier and emergency signal to rescue authorities.
Additionally, each unit includes an ultra-high performance solid
state strobe and 121.5MHz VHF homing beacon to assist in guiding
rescuers to your precise location.

Water Activation
The GME Accusat MT603G 406MHz GPS EPIRB will automatically activate
when out of the bracket and deployed in water. It can also be
manually activated by the operator in an emergency situation.
