I believe the new 406 MHz ELT's can be hooked to a GPS and transmit
lat/long when activated. Unfortunately, the ELT may not have activated.


There is also at least one 406 MHz ELT on the market that has a integral
GPS. www.acrelectonics.com is the one maker I know of, there may be
others.


I admire the poster who created his own flight tracking system. However,
I am inclined to go with one of these GPS enabled 406 PLBs. They are
lighter, less than 1 AMU in costs and are made by made by people who
know which end of the soldering iron to hold (unlike myself).
