McMurdo FastFind 220 Personal Locator Beacon PLB

The McMurdo FastFind 220 Personal Locator Beacon is the world's first PLB with both Galileo and GPS GNSS receivers, offering accelerated location detection in a compact, lightweight, and palm-sized design. Using the dedicated 406 MHz frequency, the FastFind 220 transmits your unique ID and precise location to the global network of search and rescue satellites, alerting rescuers to your situation within minutes and providing regular position updates. Emergency services can then home in on the beacon's 121.5 MHz transmission to find you.

With a 6 year battery life, waterproof rating to 10M, and a minimum 24 hours of continuous 406 MHz operation, the FastFind 220 is built for reliability when it matters most. Self-test facilities allow you to check both the battery and GNSS, and there are no subscription or call charges for worldwide coverage.
