The U.S. Coast Guard is reminding boaters and pilots to switch to digital emergency beacons by the end of this month.
Beginning Feb. 1, the Coast Guard and other service and rescue personnel will respond only to digital 406-MHz Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacons, or EPIRBs, for distress calls.
