    The 'Fastfind MAX' is a new hand-held Personal Location Beacon (PLB) from McMurdo that features a 406MHz transmitter and a 5-year battery storage life.

    In the event of an emergency, an alert signal is transmitted to Cospas-Sarsat satellites and forwarded to a rescue co-ordination centre within typically 3 minutes.

    The 'Fastfind MAX' is supplied with a lanyard and designer carry case to enable users to keep the PLB safely attached at all times. In addition there is an optional multi-purpose fixing device for attaching the PLB to clothing or a lifejacket.

    The 406MHz frequency provides an alert signal to the rescue services within 90 minutes maximum, depending on the satellite passes and gives a positional accuraccy to within 3nm.

    The 'Fastfind MAX' 406MHz Personal Location Beacon has all the features of the 'Fastfind MAX-G' but without a GPS.

    The 'Fastfind' range of McMurdo products provide pilots, crew and those involved in outdoor adventure activities with the very best chance of being found without delay in the event of an emergency.
