🔍 Key Concepts

• 406 MHz EPIRB basic functions and what signals/frequencies they use • Difference between a satellite alerting frequency (406 MHz) and homing / locator functions (often 121.5 MHz or audible signals) • Typical required equipment vs optional accessories for modern 406 MHz EPIRBs

💭 Think About

• List what a standard 406 MHz EPIRB MUST do to alert the COSPAS-SARSAT satellite system. Which choice clearly matches that function? • Which features are used to help rescuers home in on your position locally once they are in the area? Separate those from the long‑range satellite alerting role. • Think about whether every 406 MHz EPIRB is required to be float‑free, or if that is a characteristic of a particular installation type.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which features are part of the COSPAS-SARSAT 406 MHz specification versus local search aids. • Check if all 406 MHz EPIRBs are required to have a float‑free bracket, or if some can be manually activated/portable. • Consider whether an aural (sound) locator signal is a standard internal component of the beacon itself or more typical of other search‑and‑rescue equipment (e.g., SARTs, liferaft equipment).
