I am looking to build a ELT locator that works. We had a feasco last
week when a elt went off. It took 2 1/2 hrs for the faa, sheriff, fbo,
civil air patrol. to find it and it was in a hanger at the second
airport they looked at. Thanks for your help. Kenny

You should be breaking out the champaign to celebrate them finding it in
only 2 1/2 hrs.

I know of a case where it took 3 days to find one on a ramp. The
satellite told them to look 40 miles NE of where the plane was sitting.
