| Subject: | Fw: OEM or home-made ELT antennas? |
Hello Bob, et al:
I found and purchased a NOS "ACK ELT", w/o a fixed [fuselage] antenna. I
plan to install in the Lancair [composite beast].
Your opinion please on whether to go dirt cheap and build an antenna to
install, or buy the OEM [ACK] version?
Ques. #2: Is it always best to use the ELT's manufacturers antenna
design, rather than someone elses, that looks comparable/compatible? I
have a Garrett ELT antenna & base {p/n 615363-1} with a couple of
tuner-coils (?) imbeded in epoxy in the base.... Haven't found any info
on the net.
Thanks in advance,
Mike W.

Mike, I had this conversation with the local FSDO about two months ago. The
antenna is part of the TSO for the ELT. Even on an experimental it's not
legal to put on anything but the manufacturers antenna. Sorry to be the
bearer of bad news.

Hi Rick,
I kinda' suspected the same from not finding any info on BN's site or
his book. And, that's why I asked. Probably less expensive [to buy the
OEM item] in the long run.
Thanks very much for your quick reply.
Mike W.
