EPERB'S Changes 1st February
The Australian Maritime Safety Authority has released another reminder that the Analogue 121.5 MHz beacons will no longer be detected by satellite from 1 February 2009. It is essential to switch to a 406 MHz distress beacon immediately.
From November 1, 2008 it has been a requirement in Queensland that if it is necessary for you to carry an EPIRB as part of your safety equipment, it must be a 406 MHz digital EPIRB.
Supply of the 406 MHz digital EPIRB is currently limited. If you are having difficulty in purchasing a distress beacon, you should ensure your name is placed on a waiting list immediately.
