In this episode of PartsVu Xchange Talks Boating, we are joined by Captain Frank Lecardo, the Owner and an instructor at the Naples School of Boating.

We talked about the ins and outs of  EPIRBs, related emergency communications technologies like PLBs and AIS technology. Most importantly, some thoughts on how to select what is right for your needs.

In this episode, we discussed:

• What an EPRIB is, generally how it works
• What are the differences between an EPIRB and PLB?
• How does AIS fit into the marine safety communications mix?
• Selecting technology for your needs.
