I've already pulled m y Ameriking 450 in anticipation of this launch. If anyone isn't interested in a 406 but still needs a 121.5/243 ELT let me know and I can give you a good deal on my never flown Ameriking.

They will be finishing up their qual testing at Ft Huachuca this month and will be submitting the results to the FAA. They hope for a late March reta il launch of the product. The retrofit kit (sans tray and control panel mo dule) that reuses your old tray and panel module will be $599. I don't think that AOPA did us any favors by successfully fighting the adop tion of the new equipment in the US, but maybe some of you have a differing view. I know that I will be getting one ASAP.

Advantages in real and inadvertent activations is not disputed. At this price, it may become more prevalent in new installations. I do have a 406 MHz PLB (GPS equipped) Ron Lee ----- Original Message ----- From: Vanremog@aol.com I don't think that AOPA did us any favors by successfully fighting the adoption of the new equipment in the US, but maybe some of you have a differing view.
