Taken from reference: 1 An example of a single frequency beacon operating at 457 kHz and a range of 60 to 70 meters. This beacon transmits and receives only at the standardized frequency of 457 kHz introduced in 1990. Not compatible with rescue beacons transmitting at the old frequency of 2,275kHz, such as both SKADI beacons. The standard of 457kHz was adopted in 1986 by the International Commission on Alpine Rescue (IKAR), in 1996 by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), and by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI).
