GME MT410G Personal Locator Beacon NEW PLB EPIRB NEW

Personal locator beacons. We all have to have one now in the new 406 MHz frequency range as the older 121.5MHz beacons have now been removed from service.

Keeping it simple….. there are basically two types of beacons in the 406 MHz category; one with a GPS and the other without a GPS. The GPS version is more expensive than the basic model but it has additional features and accuracy which far outweigh the small price difference.

Having a GPS version will give you accuracy to within 45m and will alert the authorities that you are in distress in around 35 seconds from activation, whereas a non GPS version is only accurate to 5kms and can take up to 2 hours to alert authorities.

When activating the GPS version there is no more search and rescue, we can replace the name that has been used for years with just one word, RESCUE.

Made in Australia by communications company GME the MT410G is a fantastic little unit, not much bigger than a packet of cigarettes it will quite happily fit in the top pocket of your shirt and the lanyard goes securely around your neck.

With a seven-year battery life and a seven-year warranty, inbuilt high visibility strobe light and absolutely no warmup period the GME 410G unit is probably the best personal locator beacon in the world and is suited to a very wide range of activities including but not limited to….

• Aviation - These beacons must now be carried by every pilot flying in Australiamore than 30 miles from their home airport.
• Boating – These beacons are recommended for use in all lakes, estuaries, rivers, bays and up to 2 miles offshore.
• Explorers – The Australian outback claims people each and every year and weather you’re a hard core adventurer, a caravaner or just an occasional visitor to remote areas a PLB is a must have.
• Survey & Mining Teams – Mapping and mining the remote Australian wilderness.
• 4x4 Adventurers – Don’t leave the bitumen without the safety of a beacon.
• and many, many more uses….

Unfortunately, the price has recently gone up but we are still able to offer what we believe is the best price in Australia by selling these units at close to cost price.

• Skybound pilot supplies as these listed the $649 plus shipping
• Johnny Appleseed GPS has these listed for $649 plus shipping
• Mendelssohn pilot supplies has these listed as $695 plus shipping

All three of these businesses are considered to be some of the cheapest beacon retailers in Australia but because of our purchasing power and lower margins we have a special eBay price.

As a special eBay deal we have the GME MT410G (GPS Beacon) for the special price of just $559 plus $18 delivery by express post.

Unlike most of the other advertisers on eBay we currently have the units in stock for immediate delivery; all beacons are fresh with several deliveries from GME each week we only sell absolute fresh stock with about 7 years and 3 months battery life remaining.
