I thought that was a homing beacon for when the resuce boat/plane gets close, but I don't really know so I didn't comment when you asked in the earlier post - Can I say that usually me not knowing doesnt usually stop me posting
The other (important) bit I have always wondered about is: Do we buy a cheap RDF to pick up the 121.5 transmition for our MOB EPIRB's? Otherwise they are useless as tits on a bull if a crew goes over with one of those pinned to them.
