British made Search And Rescue And Homing(SARAH) beacon SRI 23006 was a UHF rescue beacon comprising speech unit, transmitter/receiver unit, coding unit and combined LT/HT battery. The first three units are permanently interconnected. Attached to the transmitter/receiver unit is a leaf spring aerial which fold up to very small dimensions. The SARAH beacon has three modes of operation. In the normal beacon condition pulses on a frequency of 243 MHz are being automatically transmitted. The pulses are transmitted in a rate of 210 pairs per second, the spacing between the pulses in each pair is determined by the coding unit and is a distinguishing feature between the beacons.(Note that the normal beacon operation has much in common with the war-time developed "Walter" beacon). The peak power in this mode is 15 watts and the battery life is about 20 hours continuous operation.

The city of Miami has used the EPA windfall to hire environmental consultants to test the Wynwood property and search for underground tanks. The city recently tore down the former dry cleaner on the site and placed a $130, 000 lien on the property to cover the costs. But getting the owner to pay is unlikely, said Miami economic planner Schwarzreich. The property's owner has been in bankruptcy and has proven difficult to track down. In an attempt to make the property more attractive to a buyer, the city has promised to reduce its lien from $130, 000 to $20, 000.
