The question was regards "modern" beacons. Your answer regarding timing and beacon performance information relates to older and outdated 121.5 MHz beacons, not 406 MHz. The performance of the two are entirely different and 406 is worlds better in performance and response time. In some cases (with GPS enabled beacons), 406 response time is less than 5 minutes from beacon activation and almost always within 45 minutes in the U.S. the mission is tasked. Coast Guard missions launch within minutes of tasking; CAP and others may take longer, sometime quite a bit longer, but rescues have occurred within an hour for many USCG responses. Because of the accuracy of the 406 beacons, search time is virtually nil in most cases. Generally, proceed to the coordinates and find the victims within visual range. As NOAA likes to say, 406 takes the "search" out of Search and Rescue.

Please don't confuse the two types of bacons. You need to be very clear when you provide such information that this relates only to the older 121.5 MHz beacons so as to not mislead folks as to what they can expect from the newer 406 beacons. There is just no comparison.
