How we calculate scores →About this gear
The M100 and M100X are surface man-overboard beacons with AIS position broadcasts, GPS and 121.5 MHz homing. The manufacturer lists more than 12 hours of transmission and a five-year battery interval.
Consider before buying
This catalogue entry covers two variants. Only M100X is identified as having the stated ATEX and IECEx Zone 2 approvals; those claims must not be transferred to M100. Neither is a 406 MHz satellite PLB.
Our take
Choose the exact variant around the vessel’s receiving equipment and work environment. PLB3 is the relevant comparison when satellite alerting is required. Confirm lifejacket compatibility and regional availability rather than treating automatic activation as an installation-free feature.
