I was getting ready to start mounting my AK-450 ELT. I am contemplating glassing in a flat plate just behind the baggage bulk head but thought it may be hard to reach for testing and of course other
Jeff Look on page 4 of my EruopaOwners web page (link below) to see what I did. I put the ELT under the baggage bay and accusable through the port hatch. It is not as convenient as I might want, but
Jeff, If you mount it behind the "D" window or even under the baggage bay, you had better always carry a screwdriver to access it if needed. And hope you are in a condition and have the time to use t

Concerning an ELT antenna: I just used a length of prepared coax, RG-58, BNC connector on one end end at least (e.g., allelectronics.com, cheap). Separate the shield and center conductor for a length
I've been reading the discussion about ELT antennas with a great deal of interest. I have a lot of time flying a DF equipped aircraft finding them and have seen more than my share of crash sites. I r
enough My ELT doesn't provide for that arrangement, nor perhaps do most. A flexible whip attached, a la EBC-102A would be good. Trouble is, it's "G-switch" looks cheap and unreliable. But I otherwis
