We suffered unexpected delays in modifying our product design to the COSPAS-SARSAT standard revisions. Revised prototypes are now being tested by a COSPAS-SARSAT approved laboratory to the current standard and we plan to release stock November/December 2009. Regards, Mark Knowles, Manager.

These products are currently in the COSPAS-SARSAT approval process which must be completed before they can be sold. We had planned to release these products well before this time however the approval process has become very complicated with COSPAS-SARSAT changing the performance requirements twice since compliance testing began. They require that any device not already approved meet these new specifications, to which our designs were not specifically tailored and have never been tested. Our current outlook is for stock release around April 2009. Once approved we will be distributing this product through our existing network of outdoor stores and at that time we may be able to advise which stores in your area may be carrying stock. We will add your details to our list of those to contact when the product becomes available. We will be releasing the Mini-Sat at a RRP of $499 and the Mini-Sat-G at the RRP of $649. These prices include GST. The Mini-Sat and Mini-Sat-G products are truly pocket size, measuring just 125mm x 84mm x 35mm at the extremes (265 cm3) and weighing just 220 grams (Mini-Sat) or 240g (Mini-Sat-G). The Mini-Sat and Mini-Sat-G products are equipped with a high intensity strobe light for long distance visibility at night. The aerial features a swivel mechanism allowing it to be set vertical whether the beacon is in a life vest pocket or lying flat on the ground. The Mini-Sat-G is equipped with the latest technology GPS engine enabling super-fast position acquisition and the ability to report position through geostationary satellites. The helical gps aerial provides maximum signal sensitivity and is highly resistant to shadowing, masking and alignment problems. The Mini-Sat and Mini-Sat-G products are powered by long life lithium batteries which provide more than 24 hours continuous transmission, ten years between battery changes and freedom from current passenger aircraft transport regulations. The Mini-Sat and Mini-Sat-G PLBs are self-buoyant, waterproof and resistant to immersion to more than 3 metres. Our product warranty against faulty materials and workmanship is for a period of ten years from date of purchase. The Mini-Sat and Mini-Sat-G PLBs are in the process of certification to the applicable requirements of COSPAS-SARSAT C/S T.001, AS/NZS4280 and CAR252A. Regards, Mark Knowles, Manager.
