well, we monitor 121.5 on box 2 when we're not using it to get weather or
whatever,

Yeah, ok.. that makes sense. *Now I'm ready for that Hawaii trip. *:- )

in australia we'd be on the local area frequency.

Do't you guys monitor 121.5? I thought that was international.

in reality, never.
we have area frequencies dictated by the network of repeaters that air
services uses. most of us only have the one radio.

in 10 years I can only think of once that I dialed up 121.5
and that was to see whether a beacon had gone off in one of the
hangars.
