The US Coast Guard issued a press release reminding the maritime
community that, effective February 1, 2009, the COSPAS-SARSAT
satellites will no longer monitor the 121.5/243 MHz signal
transmitted by older Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacons
(EPIRBs). Mariners are strongly encouraged to replace them with the
newer 406 MHz EPIRBs, which offer greatly improved performance.
