The Salvita is a hand-cranked emergency transceiver which transmits a distress message automatically or can be keyed. It uses the (former) international calling frequency of 500 kHz as well as the lifeboat frequency of 8364 kHz but can only receive on 500.
It is intended to float, although there is some debate among former radio officers about its buoyancy.
