Specifically, I have for several years, used the $185 Ameri-King ELT
available at any glider or aircraft supply house. I like it because it is
compact, easy to mount, and uses only 6 of the inexpensive D cell flashlight
batteries available at Walmart or any hardware store. You can take the unit
out, plug in the furnished portable antenna and a microphone and transmit
while you are awaiting rescue or walking back to civilization.
This unit was in use for my two successful activations.

"121.5 style ELT" = older type of ELT (121.5 mhz only), allegedly with
less reliable activation than the newer 406 mhz units. So far, no one
has reported a "failed to activate" situation.
