Subject: | Re: ELT position and antenna |
Will,
I have the same ELT.
You can mount the whip antenna anywhere and connect it to the box with a length
of coax.
I had a problem when I had the ELT mounted near the rudder close out because that
is very close to my comm antenna and using comm would trigger the ELT.
Perhaps leave the ELT where it is now and move the antenna to a more convenient
location. Artex doesnt specify if the antenna is to be vertical or horizontal
but I would guess vertical is better.
Jim

Hi Will
We installed our ELT antenna with a coax cable. We made a ground plane best we
could. See page 6-7:

We have since switched out to a ACK E-04 ELT but are still using the same antenna
holder and ground-plane:

Hi Will
Forgot to mention, on both of our ELTs, Mfg said if their antenna wasn't used,
unit would not be officially blessed. Both said OK to extend antenna location
with coax. Both suggested using a ground plane. That said won't do you much good
if upside down.
