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

Dig around in the Ham Radio Direction Finding stuff. We dabbled a little
in the past. My wife built one of these doppler finder kits which worked
OK...up close (like on an airport ramp) all you need is a handheld, a step
attenuator between the antenna and the receiver makes it easier but pulling
off the antenna and other games can work as well.
