To cut to the chase. Can I use my NZ register McMurdo fastfind 220 PLB in Peru?
yes, assuming peru have some sort of search and rescue service to respond to the locator beacon if it is set off..
.
Cospas-Sarsat is a global system and distress beacon alerts are received by the satellites from anywhere on the Earths surface.
If a New Zealand coded distress beacon is activated overseas an alert will be sent to the Rescue Coordination Centre responsible for the region in which the distress incident is occurring. A second notification is then be sent to RCCNZ where the beacon's registration details are kept.
