I'm an airplane pilot with an aviation Icom handheld that will
broadcast on 121.5. Any other pilots using this on your boat, esp.
when out of cellphone range, for emergency use rather than spending
the $$$ on a separate marine VHF radio?


Not being a pilot I am not familiar with what significance the frequency
121.5 has. It is certainly not a marine frequency.

many CG stations have older equipment that will pick up a 121.5
beacon. CG helos are equipped to monitor this as well as do DF'ing on
the freq.
