GME
GME is a proudly Australian manufacturer that has been designing and building world-class communication and safety electronics for over 50 years. Trusted by recreational and professional boaters across the country, GME is the go-to brand for EPIRBs, personal locator beacons, and marine VHF radios — critical safety equipment for anyone heading offshore.
At Compleat Angler Nedlands, we stock essential GME marine safety products including the AccuSat MT610G GPS Personal Locator Beacon with carry case, the GNSS MT605G EPIRB, and the GX865 Marine VHF Handheld Radio. Whether you're fishing the reefs off Rottnest or venturing further offshore, having reliable GME safety gear on board isn't just smart — it's essential.
GME's PLBs and EPIRBs feature integrated GPS receivers for fast, accurate location fixes, high-intensity LED strobes, and long battery lives backed by generous warranties. Their handheld VHF radios are buoyant and rugged, designed to perform when conditions turn serious. Every GME product is engineered and manufactured in Australia to meet the highest safety standards.

What is the difference between an EPIRB and a PLB?
An EPIRB (Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon) is registered to a vessel and designed for maritime use, while a PLB (Personal Locator Beacon) is registered to an individual and can be used on land or water. Both transmit distress signals with GPS coordinates to satellites for search and rescue.
Is GME an Australian brand?
Yes. GME has been designing and manufacturing communication and safety electronics in Australia for over 50 years. Their EPIRBs, PLBs, and marine radios are engineered to Australian and New Zealand safety standards and are Cospas-Sarsat certified for worldwide operation.
Do I need a PLB for fishing in WA?
While regulations vary by vessel size and distance offshore, carrying a PLB or EPIRB is strongly recommended for all boating and fishing activities in Western Australia. A GME PLB like the MT610G is compact, lightweight, and could save your life in an emergency.
