What if you, or someone in your party, becomes seriously ill or
injured? There could be a freak blizzard or avalanche.
Your two-way radio is severely limited in range, and requires
someone to be listening on the channel. And do not be foolish
enough to expect your cellular phone to work ! There
is a technology that has saved thousands of lives worldwide in
military, maritime and aviation emergencies. It is the
satellite-aided emergency locator beacon. In aviation,
it's known as an ELT or Emergency Locator
Transmitter; in marine use, the EPIRB, or
Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon. It
Gets Help Fast.
Casanova's Makes This
Technology Available To People - Consumers & Professionals.
Casanova's Now Is Able
To Make This Proven Technology Available To Consumers And
Professionals Through The Recent Approval By The FCC! For
nearly a decade now, an advanced type of ELT or
EPIRB - 406 MHz transmitters - has been
available to ships and aircraft. The 406 transmitters send
a coded signal that uniquely identifies each transmitter.
Rescuers know exactly who and what to look for within minutes!
Recently, the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC) has approved 406 MHz
transmitters for land-based activities.
Casanova's is Ready With
The World's Leading Equipment; ACR Electronics' Personal Locator
Beacons (PLB). The same quality devices that has
made ACR the world
leader in safety and survival technologies will be available to
protect you outdoors.
When activated, the Personal
Locator Beacon, sends your unique rescue signal to one
of seven satellites that continually circle the globe.
This signal is then relayed to a ground station so search and
rescue personnel can be notified. In less than an hour,
aid can be on its way. After several passes, the satellite
pinpoints the PLB's
location to within a 2.5 miles. Interface a GPS receiver
to the GyPSI PLB, and your precise position is sent immediately!
The GyPSI 406™ Personal Locator
Beacon weighs just 17 ounces. Compact to pack or
carry. It can continuously transmit both your coded
signal, as well as a homing signal, for over 24 hours. The
rugged case is completely water-proof and it
floats.
