    • External GPS optical interface (NMEA 0183) allows you to download your GPS coordinates from your hand-held GPS unit into your PLB
    • When activated, your GPS coordinates will be automatically included in your emergency transmission to satellites – saving valuable time for your distress message to reach local rescue centers
    • The flat, stainless steel antenna wraps compactly around bottom case for easy stowage and is easily positioned when needed
    • The unit floats to avoid loss if dropped in water and is waterproof to 3.3 feet

    From Backcountry:
    When all other means of personal rescue have failed, the ACR Terrafix 406 GPS 1 Personal Locater Beacon gives you a last resort option for backcountry rescue. The Terrafix 406 GPS 1 PLB transmits a distress signal that is detected by the 406 MHz COSPAS-SARSAT system. The 5-watt distress signal at 406 MHz transmits and unique ID, which lets rescuers know who and where you are. The Terrafix 406 GPS 1 PLB's signal gives rescuers incredibly accurate information on your location—within 110 feet, and the signal can be routed to the nearest response agency in as little as three minutes. This little life-saver floats, and the protective holster attaches onto your backpack or PFD.
