McMurdo Fast Find 220 PLB With GPS

A Life Saving Personal Location Beacon

The McMurdo Fast Find 220 is a lifesaving personal locator beacon, or PLB designed for marine enthusiasts (including paddlers) and general outdoor adventurers. Perfect for white water, sea kayaking and kayak fishing, but also any general touring or any form of expedition paddling, the Fast Find 220 PLB is ideally sized, fitting comfortably into most buoyancy aid pockets. The Fast Find 220 can also be used for inland trekking and expedition so if your interest extend beyond paddle sports you can take it anywhere in the world and be confident of a rescue.

The Fast Find 220 PLB is really your last resort in an emergency situation. Once activated the PLB transmits your location, unique ID and GPS position via satellite. Within minutes this signal is picked up and rescuers are alerted not only to your situation but they will also receive regular updates on your exact position allowing the rescue services to home in on your beacon.

The 220 is subscription-free and does not rely on commercial call centres. However, remember that this is your last resort and should not be mis-used.
