McMurdo SmartFind E8 Cat I HRU Kit is listed in this library as a marine distress-locating and survival radio device in the EPIRB / SART / EPIRB (406 MHz) Category I category. Equipment of this class is typically installed at a designated bridge, deck, survival-craft, or personal-carry location where it can be reached quickly in an emergency. Its shipboard purpose is to transmit or provide a distress-locating signal so rescue units can identify or home on a casualty.
