121.5 ELTs banned

Since satellite cover has been withdrawn for 121.5 (High false alert rate, poor localization) 406.0 and 406.1 ELTs will be needed, following a recent FCC determination.. Brian W So does that mean that we'll all have to disable the 121.5 MHz output on our 406(.1) ELTs? Our tax dollars busily at work, again. 121.5 is still used (exclusively, unless there are recent developments I'm unaware of) for DF equipment by CAP. Don't suppose they were consulted. -Evan Ludeman / T8
