SKW ELT's most definitely will flag the tail number and will get a very fast response from whoever monitors ELT's, via the company. I've proven that empirically...
121.5/243 are obsolete, but still in use by GA. Big boys use 406MHz units which are in fact monitored by satellites... CFI's might not know that.
