The characteristics of low power radio buoys operating at 2182kHz for search and rescue operations are discussed. The requirements of aircraft direction finders or radio compasses for taking bearings to the buoys is described. The minimum field strength for bearing is presented. Flight tests have demonstrated that the required ranges can be accomplished by accomodating aircraft installations in the form of modified and improved equipment. (Author)
