All EPIRBs and PLBs sold by Force 4 are pre-programmed with the UK country code and are therefore eligable for registration with the UK Beacon Registry. Whilst they will function anywhere around the world, the first authority to be contacted in an emergency situation would be the UK Coastguard Agency in Falmouth. Non Uk residents will need the EPIRB/PLB to be re coded ( programming fee applicable) to their country code and registered with their countries Beacon registry. Please also note that the EPIRBS we sell are not compliant with AMSA regulations and therefore cannot be supplied into, or registered in, Australia.
