marker beacons (mkrs) - part of an instrument landing system using 75 MHz transmitters emitting fan-shaped or elliptical signal patterns vertically upwards, defining specific points along the glideslope.
Marker beacon. A low-powered transmitter that directs its signal upward in a small, fan-shaped pattern.

Marker beacon annunciator lights
Radio beacons typically used in combination with an ILS instrument approach. A beacon is indicated by a light and an aural tone when the aircraft flies over the it.
MARKER BEACONS On most installations marker beacons operating at a carrier frequency of 75 MHz are provided.

They became fully operational in 1932, automatically transmitting directional beams, or tracks, that pilots could follow to their destination. Marker beacons came next, allowing pilots to locate airports in poor visibility.
