I noticed they recently received a new license upgrade on the FCC page and on the bottom it mentions 406 MHz under radio installation along with 121.500 MHz. Does anyone know which exact frequency in the 406 MHz band a passenger fishing cruise boat would use? Just curious.

Interesting

I didn't think there was a way for ordinary civilians to track ships like that all over the world. Pretty neat!

So, is the frequency exactly 406.000 MHz or does it mean 406 MHz band? Also, is the coded distress signal sent in morse code or does coded refer to voice encryption?
