wrote Be sure to check wit them and see if that price includes their GPS encoder. I don't think it does. You really should try and get one with a built in GPS or at least and encoder which interfaces with the aircraft GPS. That way the geostationary satalites will know where you are and you won't be waiting for passes from moving satalites before SAR can be sent out after you. BTW, if you do go with Artex, the retailers sell it cheaper than the company. I saw the basic 406 box (no GPS encoder) in either Aircraft Spruce or Chief Aircraft's catalog recently. They did not sell the encoder. You may have to get that from the company. Personally, I'm waiting for Pointer's all in one box. If, as Peter suggests, the installed automatic ELT which complies with the FARs will sink with the aircraft, he'd be better off buying the minimum possible to meet the regs, and then getting a separate all-singing-all-dancing one to stow with his liferaft, which will the one that actually gets him rescued. If ditching is a real possibility, the money might be better spent on a sea survival course. -- Richard Herring |
