that most locator beacons available may not be compatible with current SAR training ops
Why would any operational PLB need to operate on the training frequencies. We already have specific training PLBs.
As we are in the process of writing the EU standard for this equipment it needs to specify something that will actually be usable in the field.
Is this another example of the EU not knowing what it is talking about
Operational beacons don't need to operate on the training frequencies they need to be simple, cheap and effective so they are available to most people who may need them. They don't need to have the capability to operate on training frequencies.
