The £34k fine for misuse is enough to put me off.
:lol:

I think you've also missed the point! :twisted: It CANNOT be used whilst crossing the atlantic in a ruddy rowing boat nor when lying at the bottom of a ravine in the North Pole!!!

It is for AVIATION EMERGENCIES ONLY!!

121.5 is an aviation frequency, used for aviation emergency signals!! Not rowing, not hiking, not blowing yourself up or setting fire to your bits! Just aviation! :bom:
I have not missed the point at all - I cant see the point in them - period :roll:
