Navigation Equipment
GPS is fast becoming the way we find our way around in remote areas and finding our way back safely. GPS technology is extremely useful for pinpointing where you are, saving information on locations of camp sites, water supplies, and places of interest to revisit.
Truly a small wonder, the eTrex takes the best features of a 12 parallel channel GPS receiver and put them into a 150gm package that is only 11.2cm high and 5.1cm wide. The result is a unit that will literally fit in the palm of your hand. Its sleek design is ideally suited for one handed operation
Inside the eTrex, you will find the proven performance of a 12 parallel channel GPS receiver that will run for 22 hours on just two AA batteries. No need to worry about dense tree canopy with this unit, the eTrex will continue to maintain a tight satellite lock even while operating in forest-like conditions. The eTrex will store up to 500 user waypoints with graphic icons and boasts Garmin's exclusive TracBack® feature that will reverse your track log and help you navigate your way back home. In addition, the eTrex uses animated graphics that will help you identify your marked waypoints quickly and easily.
The Garmin eTrex is a state of the art unit, that will keep you on track.

Emergency Transmitters
The GME EPIRB is a completely self-contained radio transmitter for emergency use. When activated, it simultaneously transmits an internationally recognised signal on 121.5 and 243MHz. The signal can be detected at distances of up to 4000kms by LUT (Local User Terminal) base stations, monitoring COSPAS/SARAT satellites.
The COSPAS/SARAT system supplements the long standing arrangement, whereby over flying aircraft listen on the Aviation International Distress Frequency 121.5, Military Distress Frequency, reporting any EPIRB signal they hear.
The GME MT310 that we hire is designed to provide continuous transmission at full power for a minimum of 48 hours.

GME Handheld TX6200
The GME Electrophone TX6200 is not only a fully featured 40 channel UHF CB Transceiver but also incorporates a wide band receiver capable of storing an extra 20 channels between 403 and 520 MHz. These extra channels can be included in the scan sequence of normal CB channels.
The full 5 Watt output power combined with a super sensitive receiver (-123 dBm threshold), gives maximum range when transmitting and receiving. The backbone of the TX6200 is a one piece solid die-cast frame enclosing a single printed circuit board. The front cover is manufactured from a thick polycarbonate ABS blend. The cover also includes a rubber 'standout' to protect the LCD window against scratching, making the TX6200 an extremely durable, rugged and robust handheld.
Incorporated into the design of the TX6200 is an advanced 'battery Save' and 'Sleep Mode', offering prolonged battery life. This feature combined with the standard Nickel Metal Hydride large capacity battery (1200 mAh) vastly increases talk time. Another useful feature is the battery pack's own charging socket so the battery can be trickle charged at home or in a vehicle* without being attached to the transceiver (*optional vehicle charger BCV001required).
The TX6200 is one of the most simple and versatile units on the market today. The menu driven software and multiple function keys enable quick and simple customisation and user set-up. Extra listening frequencies can be added from the keys without the need of external computer programming.
