All I can see is the emacs symbol, even on the html version. Is the diagram posted on your site anywhere? I would like to build one, but need to see the diagram. Thanks!

I've not seen any of those.

Any problem crafting my own ELT antenna for install in an RV8 tail fairing, per http://www.aeroelectric.com/articles/Antennas/DIY_Comm_Ant/DIY_Comm.html instructions? 2. What is EMACS! Thanks, Raz ________________________________ Message 7 _____________________________________ Time: 05:50:21 PM PST US From: Ed Holyoke Subject: Re: AeroElectric-List: ELT Antenna Have to look at your ELT installation instructions. The ELT is TSOed and might require that you use their antenna. Ed Holyoke On 3/20/2012 2:35 PM, Rasmussen, Robert CAPT USFF, N3 OTRC wrote: > Greetings All, > Two questions: > 1.

Functionally, yes . . . as long as it's a VHF only ELT. If it's a dual band device, the antenna has special features to offer performance on both frequencies. As Ed mentioned, you might have some bureaucratic briar patches to negotiate too. >2. What is EMACS! It's a placeholder that my email client inserts for embedded figures. Your e-mail client may object to displaying the figure and displays the placeholder. You can get the 'complete' posting my going to the http://matronics.com/forums and viewing the thread there. The figures can be downloaded too and placed on your own computer as you see useful or necessary. It's a bit of a quandary . . . it's useful to illustrate a posting with embedded images so that they are displayed in place with the descriptive text . . . as opposed to making them attachments or linking to an uploaded image on the website. But some email clients don't handle my embedded images well. What e-mail client are you using?

I have a small antique airplane with no electrical system & would often like to have a transponder but I don't really want to add a small battery. I don't mind adding the small transponder type antenna. I am trying to find out if there is a transponder out there powered by it's own rechargeable batteries - like a handheld comm radio or a portable GPS. Any info here would be very much appreciated. Thanks.
