WARNING
Don't confuse the Nautilus Lifeline products with an EPIRB. The much larger EPIRB beacons are satellite transmitters with global reach and monitoring. The Lifeline devices are line-of-sight VHF radios that rely upon direct communication with marine VHF radios on vessels and shore base-stations up to { 34 mi | 55 km } distant with the effective range very dependent on the height of the receiving antenna.
Starting January 1, 2025, the ECC/DEC/(22/02) regulations will come into effect, with some European countries adopting them while others may not. This regulation requires that all Autonomous Maritime Radio Devices must be Class M compliant. A Class M device must be capable of both transmitting and receiving DSC, as well as transmitting AIS channel 1 and 2 . While the Marine Rescue GPS transmits DSC and AIS, it does not have a DSC receiver, and as a result is not Class M compliant. Thus use of the “Position Advisory” function in other than an emergency situation is prohibited in some European countries. For the details, please see Notice to LifeLine Users in Some European Countries (PDF).
