Mobilarms' V100 Personal Locator Beacon

This very clever MOB Device is fully integrated with SOB. Simply connect your onboard DSC/VHF Radio to SOB and program the V100 MMSI into the radio for automatic operation. When the V100 triggers a MOB scenario, it will send its GPS coordinates, via DSC, to the radio and SOB will plot the position on the chart as a Target. (see also www.mobilarm.com)

AMEC's Dolphin MOB Device

Another MOB Device fully integrated with SOB. On activation a SOB MOB window will automatically open to assist returning to the LKP (last known position) for quick recovery of the victim. (see also www.alltekmarine.com/eng/home_news_20081021.htm)
