Features
The JQX-30A is a highly reliable and maintenance free search and rescue radar transponder and meets the requirements set by SOLAS. Shipboard GMDSS installations include Search and Rescue Radar Transponder (SART) devices which are used to locate a survival craft or distressed vessel. A SART transmits a encoded signal over a 9GHz band, which creates a series of dots on a rescuing ship's radar display, providing the exact location, which allows for an immediate response for search and rescue (SAR) efforts.
Giving Confidence
After the rescuing ship's radar detects the SART, a red light on the JQX-30A starts flashing intermittently, letting the survivors know they have been located. As the ship gets closer to the distressed location, the red light gradually changes from intermittent to continuous, indicating the rescuing ship is getting closer.
