Model Description
FBM200
406 MHz Beacon Monitor
General
A high-gain dedicated 406 MHz Beacon Monitor that receives and logs all Cospas-Sarsat 406 MHz beacon transmissions (self-test and live activation). Applications include port monitoring, airfield monitoring, park monitoring, beacon manufacturing or test facility monitoring, beacon self test transmission verification, tower verification of ELT signal strength, and many others. The FBM200 decodes the beacon message and measures the transmitting beacon 406 MHz frequency and relative signal strength! Versitile software allows the user to customize the application. Use the included antenna or connect an external antenna for increased area coverage |
