I was wondering if anyone knows the new frequencies or frequency for the emergency locator transmitters becase Febuary 1st they will be terminating 121.5 so I was just wondering if anyone knows what the new frequency would be?
Here is an article I found:

The 406MHz digital beacons are the new standard. Some of them are pretty small. Check out the $150 Spot.
