There has been a lot of confusion on this , but my understanding is that they are phasing out 121.5 and 243 MHz frequencies. Search and rescue (SAR) groups worldwide will only monitor the 406 MHz frequency, which is dedicated to digital locators. Apparnatly these receivers are capable of picking up digital and analog signals, but not on the lower frequencies of 121.5 and 243.
