Abstract

An emergency transmitter provided with separate devices for the transmission of a first frequency and a second frequency. The transmitter is contained within a floatable housing. The transmission devices are connected via a switch to a battery. The transmission devices are comprised of a common quartz or crystal oscillator connected with frequency multipliers which are connected to drive stages and to high frequency final stages. The latter are connected to a transmission antenna which extends from the housing. Also provided is a signal generator for modulating the transmitted frequencies. A fixed-cycle control device is associated with the first and second transmission devices and alternately sets the two transmission devices into operation.
