How we calculate scores →About this gear
EPIRB1 is a compact vessel beacon with 406 MHz satellite alerting, GPS, a 121.5 MHz homing signal and visible strobes. It comes with a manual-release bracket and a retractable antenna.
Consider before buying
The official page specifies manual-only activation for the Australia/New Zealand version. It does not include the AIS, NFC or RLS functions of newer models. Confirm the exact regional unit instead of importing activation assumptions.
Our take
A simpler option to compare against EPIRB2 and EPIRB3. Yachting World highlights its small package but notes the need to deploy the antenna and the fiddliness of a compact unit. No independent numeric overall rating was verified.
