FCC Bans Certification, Sale of 121.5 MHz ELTs
The rule published this month comes eight years after the agency stayed an earlier prohibition on the sale, manufacture, and use of the units.

In a move designed to accelerate the transition from 121.5 MHz to 406 MHz emergency locator transmitters (ELTs), the Federal Communications Commission last week issued a new rule prohibiting certification of the 121.5 MHz units. But the rule continues to permit the use of 121.5 MHz ELTs.
