THESE CHANGES COULD AFFECT YOU
All over the world the satellite distress
beacon system is being changed from 121.5 MHz to 406 MHz. The older 121.5
MHz system is being phased out and in 2009 monitoring of this frequency will
cease. If you own a 121.5 MHz beacon you need to switch to 406 MHz.

information and a list of New Zealand retailers and distributors.
