Developed and manufactured in the UK, the rescueME PLB1 is typically 30% smaller than other PLBs*, with dimensions of 77mm (height), 51mm (width) and 32.5mm (depth) and weighing 116g. All that is required to activate the PLB is for the antenna to be extended, the protective cover flipped up and the button pressed. The retractable antenna and flip-up cover have been specifically designed to prevent inadvertent use. When activated, the rescueME PLB1 will transmit accurate position data from its 66 channel GPS, using the designated 406MHz search and rescue satellite communication system, as well as transmitting a 121.5MHz homing beacon which will be received by search and rescue helicopters or vessels for a minimum of 24 hours while the integrated strobe light ensures maximum visibility. As with all Ocean Signal products, battery life has been a primary consideration in the development of the rescueME PLB1 with the product\u2019s seven-year battery life reflected in the seven-year warranty.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Features:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u2022 30% smaller (typ) by volume<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Easily fits in lifejacket<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Retractable Antenna<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 7 Year Battery Life<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 7 year warranty<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 High brightness strobe light &gt;1candela<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 66 channel GPS receiver<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Unique mounting clip and flotation pouch<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 MSRP: $369.00<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.oceansignal.com\/product.php?id=22\">http:\/\/www.oceansignal.com\/product.php?id=22<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"http:\/\/www.avantlink.com\/product_ad_widget\/paw.php?pawid=69321&amp;pw=57251&amp;output=js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We always do a couple guides of items that you might not buy for your dad, but you<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":true,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9038],"tags":[9605,9606,9842],"class_list":["post-4554","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-accessories","tag-fathers-day-gift","tag-gifts-for-dad","tag-outdoor-gifts-for-dads"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.openairlife.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4554","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.openairlife.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.openairlife.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.openairlife.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.openairlife.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4554"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.openairlife.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4554\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.openairlife.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4554"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.openairlife.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4554"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.openairlife.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4554"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
