I had my condition inspection Friday and learned that my 3 year old Ameri-King
ELT had died (121.5 only).
Probably in my best interest to go to a 406 since who is monitoring 121.5 ?
I have to ask who is monitoring the 406's or whatever the frequency is?
Do the replacement batteries for the ACK E-04 406 really cost $150 and do they need to be replaced yearly?
Is it a mistake to go with a EBC 502 that transmits on 121.5 and 243.0 MHz?
I had one in my other Kitfox for 21 years and it still works and easy to install.
Who monitors 243.0 MHz?
I will appreciate any advice on ELT's.
Thanks
Herman
