ANALOGUE PERSONAL LOCATOR BEACONSBackgroundAnalogue distress beacons were first developed by the military in the 1960s as a way to locate pilots who had been forced to abandon their aircraft.In the last 40 years, analogue distress beacons have evolved into several variants with the two most common being i) analogue EPIRB for vessels; and ii) analogue Personal Locator Beacons (analogue PLB) for individual seafarers.The Cospas-Sarsat analogue EPIRB units transmit on two international distress frequencies and are based on the satellite compatible Maritime EPIRB specification.In the mid 2000s, this analogue variant was superseded by the Digital 406 EPIRB which offers considerable advantages over the older type including the ability to uniquely identify individual units, provide GPS positioning and reduce the chance of false alarms.As a result, 121.5/243 MHz processing by Cospas-Sarsat ceased on 1 February 2009 and according to the Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA), it will be illegal to use an analogue 121.5 MHz distress beacon for any purpose after 1 February 2010 . However, Cospas-Sarsat 406 MHz beacons using this frequency as a secondary homing signal are unaffected. The...more
