ORCA TX-106 (MOBI)
Saltwater-activated Man Overboard Indicator transmitter on 156.525 MHz DSC and 121.5 MHz, used by the US Navy.
Description
The TX-106 is part of the Man Overboard Indicator (MOBI) system used by the US Navy and other mariners, worn on the MK-1 float coat and inherently buoyant life preserver.
Key features
- On activation it calls a DSC-capable radio, which sounds and shows the MOB's identity and GPS coordinates, and emits a 121.5 MHz signal for continuous direction-finder bearing.
- Meets IP67.
Applications
US Navy and other mariners using DSC-capable VHF radios; the 121.5 MHz signal supports continuous bearing from direction finders such as the DF-101.
