built-in redundancies to increase your chances of survival in an emergency
situation. The internal GPS will pin-point your location, which is
transmitted on the 406 MHz distress signal which in the absence of GPS
coordinates, can be used to triangulate your position. The beacons 121.5
MHz homing signal will bring local search and rescue forces directly to your
position and the EPIRBs LED strobe light will allow them to visually locate
your position in low light environments.

transmission, power and battery performance, as well as GPS acquisition.
