How we calculate scores →About this gear
EPIRB1 Pro pairs Ocean Signal’s compact satellite distress beacon with a Category I automatic-release housing. Its 406 MHz transmission, GPS position, 121.5 MHz homing signal and visible strobe serve a vessel emergency rather than everyday messaging.
Consider before buying
It lacks the RLS receipt confirmation and NFC functions of EPIRB2 Pro. Sailing Savvy’s review likes the compact package and visible self-test flashes but questions value against newer feature-rich alternatives. No numerical overall rating is provided.
Our take
Worth maintaining in an existing supported installation, but we would compare the EPIRB2 Pro carefully before buying new. If automatic release is not the required arrangement, compare the standard EPIRB1 package rather than assuming all versions include the same bracket.
