{"name":"Emergency Beacon","itemflags":"Technological Gear","bulk":"L","description":"When activated, this small, pod-shaped device emits a bright red flash from a dome on its top once every 6 seconds, using 1 charge per day. The emergency beacon also transmits its location. Any device capable of receiving signals of any sort can pick up an emergency beacon\u2019s signal, which can then be tracked back to the source with a successful DC 15 Engineering or Survival check. An emergency beacon\u2019s transmissions have a range of 100 miles over flat terrain, but this range is halved in forests or hills and quartered in mountainous terrain and underwater. Alternatively, an emergency beacon can be hooked up to a starship or vehicle\u2019s communications system, in which case its usage increases to 1 charge per hour and its range matches that of the communications array of the vehicle or starship.\r\n","level":"1","usage":"Varies","activate":"Interact","itemart":"","firsttype":"Beacon","firstprice":"100 SN","firstlevel":"1","firsttext":"","secondtype":"","secondprice":"","secondlevel":"","secondtext":"Comm units that function at system-wide and unlimited ranges aren\u2019t as portable; they include built-in generators that provide the necessary amount of power.
