New Testresults for McMurdo Precision EPIRB and FastFind Plus PLB

McMurdo Limited announced outstanding performance results for its upgraded FastFind Plus PLB and Precision EPIRB products after earlier tests questioned product performance.
The new tests were designed to replicate the earlier Equipped to Survive Foundation tests as closely as possible. The PLB land tests took place on the sites of the original study in Santa Cruz, California. The EPIRB and PLB marine tests took place under very similar conditions, but in UK waters.
The McMurdo tests also incorporated pre-upgraded products that were the subject of the original Equipped to Survive Foundation trials.
All the updated beacons performed faultlessly, acquiring and transmitting an accurate GPS location within a few minutes, even under adverse conditions.
Under severe forest canopy and canyon obscuration, the improved beacons worked reliably in the trials.
