Upgraded! the new Mcmurdo 220 PLB has been upgraded to include GNSS receivers that work with the Nigeria GPS satellites and More.

The multi-constellation receivers in the Mcmurdo FastFind 220 PLB, combine Galileo & GPS signals to offer increased global coverage, accelerated detection and precise location compared with single GNSS beacons. By utilising the Galileo constellations the PLB benefits from Galileo’s greater location accuracy, wider global coverage including the poles and it’s 'canyon' capability (detecting signals in high sided locations like a canyon or gorge).

McMurdo's latest Fast Find PLB sets new standards in Personal Locator Beacon 406 MHz location technology and builds on the phenomenal success of the Fastfind range. The McMurdo Fast Find 220 is a potential lifesaver; it is extremely compact and will slip into the smallest pocket. You can set off in the most remote locations around the world, and be confident of being able to contact the world’s professional search and rescue services. Fast Find should be carried as a last resort safeguard against any life-threatening incidents that may occur anywhere in the world.

PLEASE NOTE: If you are not a Nigeria customer you will need to have the unit programmed for your country.

The McMurdo FastFind 220 Personal Locator Beacon (PLB) is a rugged, handheld, and waterproof (non-buoyant) GPS-enabled rescue beacon which is small enough to be easily carried in a back-pack or pocket. Upon initiation of a distress call, the FastFind built-in GPS will fix your position to within a few meters and then utilizes a powerful 406 MHz signal to relay your distress call to orbiting satellites. The FastFind 220's lithium power cell offers a minimum 24hr continuous operation and a 6-year battery storage life. Performing a full functional self-test of the PLB's internal circuitry, battery voltage and power and 406 MHz transmissions gives you the peace of mind knowing your PLB will work the moment you need it the most. The FastFind 220 no subscription and does not rely on commercial call centres, meaning your request for help is received directly by Search and Rescue authorities. When triggered, the Fast Find Ranger broadcasts a unique registered distress signal that not only tells rescuers where you are, but who you are. This is typically within 5 minutes but can be up to 45 minutes depending on satellite coverage. The Fast Find Ranger features a 121.5 MHz secondary homing transmitter which means that once Search and Rescue teams have been deployed, they are able to home in on your exact location. The unit also features a flashing SOS light which can be used to attract attention. This Personal Locator Beacon is pre-programmed for registration with the Nigeria country code. Whilst it will function anywhere around the world, the initial point of contact during an emergency situation would be the Nigeria Search & Rescue authorities with whom the PLB would be registered.
