Did some googling around, plane and unit might belong to:

KD0CVN

Peter D Howell

1472 Iowa Ave West

ST Paul, MN 55108



That beacon was  over a residential area - if he was in trouble and went
down, we'll know soon enough.

Possibly a misconfigured TT3.

and its a plane, or using the plane symbol, thought I would let some know
here as not sure if this is real or not. they are using the call also of
n789ph i think.

 

 

That is an aircraft registration. There should still should be (to be legal)
a ham call associated with it.  It you have a moving track on it, I doubt it
is an emergency although I have no idea as to policy on APRS as to emergency
beacons.
