Important notice
406 beacons are the direction of the future in beacon technology.
From February 2009 the international satellite system (called Cospas-Sarsat) will no longer process the 121.5 signal.
This will make all 121.5 beacons obsolete.
Owners of the 121.5 beacon should work towards upgrading to the 406 at their next beacon battery changeover.
