Epirb Has Display And Gps

摘要

An EPIRB that is claimed to be the first to offer a digital display screen and dual GPS technology has received European Marine Equipment Directive (MED) 'wheelmark'approval. With this confirmation, ACR Electronics will soon begin selling its GlobalFix iPRO, which it describes as "a patented, next generation 406 MHz EPIRB". The manufacturer cites customer feedback as revealing that "beacon users could benefit considerably from a digital read-out"and its display provides a variety of information during operation and self-test. For example, when activated, the unit displays latitude and longitude co-ordinates.
