Gagan reports that the Galois representations associated to 121A and 121C are surjective mod 2 but not mod 4.
There is only one conjugacy class of subgroups of GL(2,Z/9) which surjects onto (Z/9Z)* under the determinant map and reduces onto GL(2,Z/3). It is of size 144=3*#GL(2,Z/3). So Elkies' analysis of "3 not 9" pins down the image of Galois completely.
