They seem effective. Anywhere outside is a problem because you never know what might get damaged in a hard landing! Most ELTs have an antenna you can put on the unit after the fact, assuming you're able. Which one are you using? For what it's worth, we do a lot of ELT tests at annual time and we've been having terrible luck with the ACKs. At least half the ones we test are either too sensitive or impossible to set off.
