Wer jetzt noch mit einem alten, analogen EPIRB unterwegs ist, wird wenig Glück haben:
"121.5 MHz distress beacons will not be detected by satellite from 1 February 2009 – you must switch to a 406 MHz distress beacon as soon as possible.
Do not risk your life by using a 121.5 MHz distress beacon - switch to a 406 MHz distress beacon now."
