T&T: BOATERS PROHIBITED FROM USING 121.5, 243 MHz EPIRBS BY 2007

[Mike Maurice]

> Do remember however, that all 406 MHz EPIRBs also transmit on 121.5 and/or
> 243 MHz.  They do so in order to provide signals which can be DF'd.  The

The 406 Epirbs do not transmit on 243, just the 121.5 for short range 
direction finding.

Whoever wrote up the original press release should be fired as it is 
going to promote a lot of confusion.
