I'm thinking maybe I can disconnect the manual trigger because I now have a Personal Locator Beacon that would take the place of a manually activated ELT. I purchased it for a flight to Puerto Rico (Aguadilla and Culebra- 2000'). Transmits on 406 MHz via COSPAS-SARSAT satellite system with your registered unique, digitally coded distress signal and 121.5 MHz (SAR homing frequency).=20 Recessed, waterproof GPS/programming interface (NMEA 0183) transmits GPS data for even faster response.=20 Small, lightweight unit can be easily carried in a pack or pocket; small enough to wear on deck by racers, crew, solo cruisers, kayakers, climbers, hikers, hunters, pilots or any outdoor enthusiast.=20 Single, three-position switch for simplicity. Red LED flashing indicates unit is "ON", Yellow LED flashing indicates test sequence in process, steady green LED indicates unit has passed full functional test.=20 Functional test switch for battery power and 406 MHz transmission.=20 Flat, stainless steel antenna wraps compactly around bottom case for easy stowage; is easily positioned when needed.=20 Floats to avoid loss if dropped in water, waterproof to 3.3 ft (1 m).=20 Wrist lanyard ensures security when hand-held.=20 Can be stored between -50=B0 C and + 70=B0 C (-58=B0 and +158=B0 F). I think this is the answer! Charlie K.
