  • proceeding, FCC 02-271, which was released on October 8, 2002. The Report and Order incorrectly added subpart H and rules sections 95.1201 - Basis and purpose, 95.1203 - Frequency and 95.1205 - Special requirements for 406 MHz PLBs. By this Errata we corrected Appendix C to indicate the addition of subpart K and rule sections 95.1400 - Basis and purpose, 95.1401- Frequency and 95.1402 - Special requirements for 406 MHz PLBs. This error was corrected before the rules were published in the Federal Register. FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION D'wana R.

  • Personal Locator Beacon (``PLB''), Marietta, GA. On July 17, 2009, agents of the Enforcement Bureau's Anchorage Office, in response to a complaint, located through signal strength and direction finding techniques an active PLB operating on both 121.5 and 406.025 MHz at a car rental business at 4707 Spenard Road, Anchorage, AK. The agents observed the following violation: 47 C.F.R. § 95.1401: ``The frequency band 406.0 - 406.1 MHz is an emergency and distress frequency band available for use by Personal Locator Beacons (PLBs). Personal Locator Beacons that transmit on the frequency band 406.0 - 406.1 MHz must use G1D emission. Use of these frequencies must be limited to transmission of distress and safety communications.'' The PLB was manually activated when no

  • Yee, owner/registrant of a Personal Locator Beacon (``PLB''), in Waimanalo, Hawaii. On June 20, 2011, an agent of the Enforcement Bureau's Honolulu Office, in response to a complaint, employed direction finding techniques to locate an active PLB operating on both 121.5 and 406.025 MHz at a private residence in Waimanalo, HI. The agent observed the following violations: 47 C.F.R. § 95.1401: ``The frequency band 406.0 - 406.1 MHz is an emergency and distress frequency band available for use by Personal Locator Beacons (PLBs).

  • PLBs transmit in the frequency band 406.0-406.1 MHz, and must comply with the technical standards in the RTCM Recommended Standards for 406 MHz Satellite Personal Locator Beacons, Version 1.1, RTCM Paper 76-2002/SC110-STD, and be certified by a COSPAS/SARSAT laboratory and an independent laboratory to certify that they comply with electrical and environmental standards associated with the RTCM standard.See47 C.F.R. §§ 95.1401, 95.1402. Additionally, 406 MHz PLBs must include a 121.5 MHz homing beacon, and transmit a unique identifier (Morse Code "P") on the 121.5 MHz signal. See47 C.F.R. § 95.1402(b). The rules also specify labeling requirements and mandatory registration with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. See47 C.F.R. §§95.1402(e), (f). 167For example, TracMe markets a locator device that transmits on FRS
