406 MHz GPS
Personal Locator Beacon

MicroFix
takes the 'search' out of Search & Rescue. Accidents
happen every day in the outdoors, whether you fall
out of a tree stand, break a leg during a hike,
roll over on an ATV. In the
outdoors, an everyday accident instantly can become
a life threatening situation, and rescues may take
days or weeks if you're not prepared.
Why
wait for days? If you're stranded
in the outdoors hoping someone will find you, put
the power in the palm of your hand with the MicroFix™ 406
GPS Personal Locator Beacon. You can turn that
life threatening situation into a successful rescue
story.
It's
as easy as pushing a button. With
an internal GPS receiver,
MicroFix™ will
acquire your GPS position and transmit it along with
your personalized identifier code through the SARSAT
satellites instantly alerting SAR forces that you need
help, immediately!
The
MicroFix ™ works fast. If
GPS data is present in the beacon's first burst, SAR
forces can be notified and start planning your rescue
in as little as three minutes.
