Hello!
About frequencies pay attention that there are more than a single
(406.025 MHz) frequency.
In my direct experience there's also 406.028 / 406.039 MHZ in use. So
also tuning has to be on the right frequency.
Take a look also at
https://www.ntia.doc.gov/files/ntia/publications/compendium/0406.00-0406.10_01MAR14.pdf
, but I suppose that also this document isn't up-to-date...

Had to google that; for the others: http://www.epirb.com/
Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon ; 406 MHz, bursty,
wikipedia
says:
> The digital distress message generated by the beacon varies
according
to the above factors and is encoded in 30 hexadecimal characters. The
unique 15-character digital identity (the 15-hex ID) is hard-coded in
the firmware of the beacon. The 406.025 MHz carrier signal is
modulated
plus or minus 1.1 radians with the data encoded using Manchester
encoding, which ensures a net zero phase shift aiding Doppler location
So, a PSK that can only take values of +1.1 and -1.1, relative to the
"idle" carrier. Bit rate is 400b/s, so that makes it a 800 S/s PSK
symbol rate (manchester-encoding happening in between).
Cheers,
Marcus
