re: re: Does the Emergency watch reallly work? by moderator on Feb 28,2003 03:50 PM I actually do not believe that an international frequency is used. When the watch was introduced, a US military frequency was used and then changed to a US civilian frequency when the watch was made available to all. This had to pass the FAA and FCC. Remember when pilots were the only authorized buyers of these things?
For the record, I don't agree or disagree with duck, but my guess is duck is a mechanical watch snob.
I even found an image in my library for all to see with the military frequency (note the MHz on the dial).
