The MR510 enables two- way VHF or UHF communication and can operate on the civil emergency frequency, 121.5 MHz, as well as military guard (243.0) and the new 406 MHz search-and-rescue channel. It also includes in a compact, self-contained package, a 12-channel GPS.

Becker bills the MR510 as “the most advanced Cospas-Sarsat-certified handheld PLB available today,” capable of continuous transmission for at least 24 hours at temperatures down to -20 degrees C. The international avionics manufacturer adds that its latest emergency beacon offering “is the only PLB on the market with
an integrated, extractable three-band VHF/UHF antenna and integrated GPS antenna in a single compact housing.”
