The responding Search and Rescue unit needs to find the exact location to perform its mission quickly. The small size of the FTV 468 CM and FTV 468 C allows the searchers to move rapidly over rough terrain and in bad weather, while receiving accurate directional data. The Tracker 468 CM unit is the only one on the market with fully automatic functions, which is important in extreme situations. The only thing the user does is turn the unit on by pressing the ON switch, wait 4-6 seconds for the tracking receiver to adjust to the frequency and sensitivity, and then point toward the source of transmission. Tracker 468 CM automatically selects the actual distress signal, avoiding human error in channel selection.
Most fatal errors are when the user follows the so-called back signal.
It is accurate at both close and long range. The precision build CNC body with epoxy powder coating finish and the virtually unbreakable antenna have 10 year warranties. The electronics have a three year warranty. And whether warranty or normal repair, service is provided expeditiously from Springdale, Arkansas. The FTV 468CM and FTV 468C can be used with practice transmitters.
