You probably know this. The 121.5 MHz PLB is using the aeronautical distress frequency. The 406 MHz PLB is also transmitting on 121.5 as an aircraft homing frequency. So any passing aircraft with more than one radio should pickup your PLB. Not as good as having a conversation, but a very good safety net.
