Mandatory 406 MHz PLB Registration
You must register your 406 MHz beacon with the responsible
COSPAS-SARSAT authority for your country, prior to using it. The following,
abstracted from the NOAA beacon registration website
(
http://www.sarsat.noaa.gov/beacon.html ), is applicable only to the USA.
If you purchase a new or a used 406 MHz beacon you MUST register it with NOAA. If
you change any information on your registration (such as phone number, address, bought
a new boat, etc.) you
MUST update your 406 MHz beacon with NOAA. Also, if you
sell your 406 MHz beacon, make sure the purchaser re-registers the beacon, or you may
be contacted by rescue authorities if it is activated. Please provide the new owner our
phone number or this web page so they can register the beacon.
If the registration form provided with the MicroPLB is no longer available, you may
print a beacon registration form from: (
http://www.sarsat.noaa.gov/plb-form.pdf ). Mail
the original, signed form to NOAA at:
