Aug 22, 2019 at 13:11 comment added Gerard Ashton At least in the United States, 121.775 (notice the extra 7 in the hundreths place) is the frequency used by SAR teams to practice with emergency locator beacons and personal locator beacons. I'm a member of Civil Air Patrol and have engaged in searches, both real and practice.
Aug 21, 2019 at 18:16 comment added Harper - Reinstate Monica @Notts90 you're quite right, I had the wrong frequency (that's what I get for asking Kenneth). 121.5 is the classic emergency beacon freq. 121.75 is unrelated.
Aug 21, 2019 at 18:14 comment added Harper - Reinstate Monica @PhilMiller I buy that. It also explains some of the dissent.

Aug 21, 2019 at 17:30 comment added Phil Miller There's a separate aviation air-to-air frequency for general use on 122.75, but that's clearly not relevant here. I really think 121.5 is the intended frequency here.
Aug 21, 2019 at 13:55 comment added Phil Miller The aviation guard frequency is 121.5 MHz. I can't find anything that specifically mentioned 121.75 MHz as an emergency frequency of any sort
