GME MT403g - $849; GME MT403 - $699.
A key feature of the MT403 series is the use of non-hazardous battery packs that are IATA compliant and allow for restriction free transportation. The MT403 also includes a water activation feature. Once it has been removed from its mounting bracket, the MT403 will activate automatically on immersion in water. Of course you can also activate it manually if required.
The MT403G has an additional 16 Channel parallel GPS receiver with top mounted Quad helix antenna to improve location accuracy to better than 100 metres typically.
Advantages of a 406 MHZ EPIRB over the older analogue EPIRBs include world wide coverage, position location accuracy to within 5 kms (100 m for the GPS model) and a more stable transmitted signal resulting in faster response time.
