SmartFind E8 GMDSS Cat I

McMurdo SmartFind E8 GMDSS Cat I is a emergency position-indicating radio beacon. It is normally installed in an approved accessible position, commonly near the bridge or externally in a float-free mounting depending on category. Its primary purpose is to transmit a distress alert and vessel identification for search-and-rescue response. Compared with routine ship radios, an EPIRB is a dedicated emergency beacon intended for distress alerting and autonomous deployment or manual activation.
