摘要：	The Coast Guard Office of Investigations and Casualty Analysis has released Safety Alert 12-22 to address issues that may reduce the effectiveness of a radar search and rescue transponder (SART) during an emergency. During a recent marine incident, a survivor was drifting in the water and holding an activated 9 GHz (X-band radar) SART, but the individual was not detected by some of the responding vessels, including good Samaritans and Coast Guard vessels. The survivor saw four vessels pass close by as he held the SART above water and shouted for help, but none of the vessels' crews saw him. The survivor was finally rescued after remaining in the water for three hours. After the incident, the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) tested the survivor's SART, in cooperation with the Coast Guard, the vessel's owner, and the SART manufacturer. The testing revealed that the SART was in good condition and was operating in accordance with the international and domestic requirements for a 9 GHz SART.
