MT600G pack GME Marketing
New GPS equipped EPIRB from GME ensures faster location - Market leading Emergency Beacon manufacturer GME has released the MT600G, a new Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon (EPIRB) with improved GPS functionality ensuring faster location in an emergency situation.

Built on the foundation of 35 years of experience designing and manufacturing EPIRBs in Australia, the MT600G features a 10 year battery life and advanced self testing capability, giving users greater peace of mind.

The GME MT600G boasts a 66 channel GPS receiver which reduces the search area to less than 100m radius, and a 121.5MHz homing signal to further aid in location and retrieval in an emergency. Complete with quick release mounting bracket and automatically deployed antenna, the MT600G is certified by COSPAS SARSAT for worldwide usage.

Marine Marketing Manager at GME Brad Darch said 'GME EPIRBs and PLBs have lead to more rescues in Australian waters than any other brand, and the MT600G continues this heritage. It was designed and manufactured in Australia to deliver next generation performance and reliability.'

The MT600G is available at all authorised GME Marine Dealers at an RRP of $399 including GST.
