FAST FIND Model 210 (With Integral 50 Channel GPS)
The ground breaking new FAST FIND Satellite PersonalLocation Beacon ( PLB ) range, is the most compact, waterproof and versatile 406 MHz emergency location beacon available on the market today.

The FAST FIND models transmit two signals simultaneously, one to the subscription free global 406 MHz satellite system. The other (121.5MHz) is a homing signal designed to speed up the local recovery response process. Once activated, FAST FIND’s signals will continue to transmit for at least 24 hours, at a powerful 5 watt output, the 406 MHz transmission ensures that a call for help gets through whatever the conditions.

FAST FIND also includes a unique SOS LED flash light facility which is manually activated to further assist in speeding up your recovery during night time rescues. FAST FIND will operate in temperatures down to -20°c and its integral battery has a user storage life of 5 years, so there’s no need for constant battery changes and re-charging.

FAST FIND is a potential life saver; it is extremely compact and will slip into the smallest pocket or back pack compartment. You can set off in the most remote locations around the world, on land, at sea or in the air, and be confident of being able to contact the world’s professional search and rescue services directly, safeguarding you against any life threatening incidents that may occur anywhere in the world.
