The beacon also transmits a 121.5MHz homing signal.
Waterproof to 10 meters and able to operate in temperatures as low as -4°, once activated the 220 will transmit continuously for a minimum of 24 hours at a powerful 5 watt output. The compact beacon weighs just 5.4oz and measures 1.34” x 1.85” x 4.17”. An LED flash light assists with rescues during limited visibility or at night. The Fast Find 220 PLB has no subscription charges and includes a flotation pouch, lanyard and universal carry pouch.
