Other retailers may offer similar, cheaper units, but nobody can match the service at Johnny Appleseed GPS, with friendly support and honest advice. You can trust Johnny Appleseed. Why go anywhere else?

The new MT403 series of EPIRBS allow for even greater safety and convienience when on the water. The MT403Gautomatically activates on immersion in water (when removed from the bracket) or can be manually activated. With zero warm-up digital technology, the unit will be ready when you need it most (many other beacons can take up to 15 minutes to reach optimum operating temperature!)

Whereas non GPS equiped EPIRBS boast around 5km accuracy, the MT403G has an additional 16 Channel parallel GPS receiver with top mounted Quad helix antenna to improve location accuracy to better than 100 metres typically!

With a rugged, lightweight and simple to install compact design, the MT403G can be transported easily, and with the new non-hazardous batteries, it's even easier to take your EPIRB where ever you go. (Meets UN requirements for transport as non-hazardous cargo on board passenger aircraft.)

Knowing that you can rely on your EPIRB is essential - there's an easy, in-built self-test facility with audible alert so you know that your unit is in full working order. For even greater peace of mind, the MT403G series carry an industry first 6 year warranty, and have a 6 year battery replacement period (non-user replaceable).
