       406 MHz satellite distress beacon equipment means equipment that:
           (a) is either:
              (i) a 406 MHz satellite emergency position indicating radio beacon; or
              (ii) a 406 MHz satellite personal locator beacon; and
           (b) is capable of being operated on a carrier frequency in the frequency band 406 MHz to 406.1 MHz; and
