AEROFIX 406/ONBOARD GPS/+I/F (2799.4)   PLB  Personal Locator Beacon
  • Transmits on 406 MHz via the COSPAS-SARSAT satellite system with your registered unique, digitally coded distress signal and 121.5 MHz (SAR homing frequency).
  • Smallest and most functional P-ELT available; can be easily carried in a pack or pocket; small enough to be worn by pilots, hikers, hunters, kayakers or any outdoor enthusiast.
  • Full functional self test of internal circuitry, battery power, 406 MHz transmission, and GPS acquisition (P/N 2799.4 only).
  • Flat, stainless steel antenna wraps compactly around the unit for easy stowage; and is ready for rapid deployment.
  • Floats to avoid loss if dropped in water, exceeds 1 meter (3.3ft) requirement, tested to 5 meters (16.5ft)
  • GPS interface (NMER 0183) allows you to download GPS coordinates prior to activation; once activated, your LAT/LON transmits on the first burst insuring your distress message reaches search and rescue near instantaneously.
  • Onboard GPS (PN 2799.4 only) acquires LAT/LON when the unit is activated, your LAT/LON are transmitted as soon as acquired providing rescue agencies with your exact position to within 100 meters (110 yards), within 3 minutes of satellite reception.
  • Removable holster provides functionality, style and protection for your P-ELT; allows for multiple mounting options to back packs, belts, webbing and life vests.

 

MICROFIX 406 GPS PLB (2898)
  • Full functional self-test of internal circuitry, battery voltage and power, 406 MHz transmission and GPS acquisition—an ACR exclusive.

GME ACCUSAT 406 PLB W/GPS (MT410GUS)
GME’s AccuSat Series, available with or without an integrated GPS option, are leading the world with feature innovation and user benefits.

Not only is the AccuSat Series the smallest and lightest PLB on the market, both models offer a massive 7 year battery replacement life, an ‘industry first’ 7 year warranty, a high intensity LED strobe and a ‘Non Hazmat’ battery pack for simple and cost effective transportation, all contributing to the unique AccuSat advantage.

The current 121.5/243 MHz analogue COSPAS SARSAT service will be terminated in February 2009 and only the 406 MHz digital beacon signals will be processed thereafter. Consumers have for some time recognised the major benefits of a 406 MHz over a 121.5 MHz device in faster, more accurate detection, personal identification of each beacon, reduced search area resulting in a faster more targeted response in a life threatening situation. However the prohibitive cost of 406 MHz beacons has always been an issue.

Today with cutting edge microprocessor technology, GME’s engineers are able to provide the outdoor adventurer with a 406 MHz PLB solution that is not only affordable, but provides enhanced peace of mind for boaters, bush walkers, 4 x 4 enthusiasts and aviators should they ever require emergency assistance.

GME has been designing and manufacturing emergency beacons in Australia for over 30 years. In that time literally hundreds of lives have been saved in Australia and around the world.

Ameri-King ELT SET 406/WHIP ANTENNA (AK-451-1)

ELT SET 406/WHIP ANTENNA (AK-451-1)
The Ameri-King AK-451-( ) Series is a FAA TSO’d approved, 406 MHz ELT Emergency Locator Transmitter, Types (AF) Automatic Fixed, (AP) Automatic Portable, (S) Survival. It transmits aircraft GPS/NAV position data, immediately and accurately, on triple (406 Satellite /243 Military /121.5 Civilian) MHz frequencies.
The supreme advantage feature is the aircraft GPS/NAV Latitude / Longitude exact position shall be transmitted, within 1 minute, on the very first burst, without waiting for a Polar Orbiting Satellite (could be up to 4 hours). Enhance the accuracy significantly, for the ground search area, from 1-2 kilometers (non GPS/ NAV Position) to 22 meters typical (with GPS/NAV Position).
Having triple frequencies insures your distress message reaches both NOAA Satellite Operation and US Air Force AFSR Ground Operation, Search and Rescue Team, with 100% fully confidence, due to transmitting on both 243.0 MHz Military and 121.5 MHz Civilian bands, for immediate ground search dispatch, narrowing the searching time to almost nothing.
The choice is clear, when it come to Safety, Fast, Accuracy, Reliability, Price and Product Support, Ameri-King’s AK-451-( ) Series is your best choice.

 
The AK-451 has been certified to the following:
 
  • FAA TSO-C126
  • FAA TSO-C91a
  • ETSO-2C126 per European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA)

The AmeriKing AK-450 is an FAA TSO'd C91a approved ELT Emergency Locator Transmitter, types (AF) (AP) Automatic Fixed, Automatic Portable.  Meets the SSA Contest Rules.
ELTs  were manufactured 1973 to the specifications of FAA TSO-C91. In 1985, TSO-C91A was introduced to provide improved performance and reliability. Today, C91 units are no longer allowed in new installations. These first and second-generation units broadcast an analog signal on 121.5 and 243.0 MHz.  The latest technology utilizes a frequency of 406 MHz.  In November of 2000 the International Corpas-Sarsat Program announced that it plans to cease the processing of distress signals from 121.5 and 243 MHz beacons on February 1st, 2009.  For details see the 121phaseout.pdf document.  The FAA has not announced any plans to obsolete 121.5 MHz ELTs.

SSA Sanction Contests in 2007 may require an Emergency Locator Transmitter (ELT) that  is  impact-activated.  At the discretion of the Contest Organizers.

The ELT may be manually selected or automatically activated upon a crash and transmit the standard swept tone of 121.5/243.0 MHz simultaneously. In addition, the model AK450 may be used for transmitting Voice Communication to Search and Rescue Teams, on the Emergency frequency 121.5/243.0 Mhz channel. This design is unique. 

Uses standard Duracell Alkaline "D" cell batteries.  Remote control panel operates from lithium cell. No aircraft power is required for operation.

Installation is extremely simple for the AK 450. All necessary Accessories are provided, including; a High Speed - No wind drag antenna, a telescopic portable antenna, a remote control panel, coaxial cable and wiring interconnection assemblies, and a mounting tray.
