ELT replacement: Options?

Every ELT manufacture that I spoke to said they were working on getting
their 406mhz units to market
When they do I think the prices will be much more reasonable. I will then
definitely consider one.

Just today I ordered the ACK E01 121.5 ELT $215.00 from sky geek to
replace the pointer 3000 installed in my plane.

That unit was brought to my attention during my research, but I find it
hard
to believe that a unit powered by D batteries is certified for install in
a
Bonanza. It does seem that it is, though, and I agree with you that the
price
difference between this unit and the 406Mhz is dramatic.

I, too, carry a PLB unit that transmits GPS coordinates but of course this
security is only as good as the hope that I or a passenger will be
conscience
after a crash to activate it.
