Although I'm not fond of this mounting scheme, simply slipping a couple of insulated clamps around frame members, it does work and it's quick and dirty. The antenna mount I'm even less fond, but once again, it gets the job done.
One note on ELT's. The cable going to the panel switch seems to be designed for mounting in the extreme aft of something the size of a B-52. I see a lot of installations, like mine, that has the excess cable wadded up and nylon tied. As you can see from the picture, the cable on this model comes straight out of the case. I have an ACK 450 for my FireStar that has a phone plug so the cable can be replaced. Unfortunately, I can't just substitute a phone cord more near the length required. Phone cords run straight through from plug to plug. ELT cords have a 180 twist so that, for instance, if the red wire is connected to the first terminal on one end, it's connected to first terminal on the other end, too, whereas on a phone cord it would be connected to the fourth terminal.
Regardless, a $10 tool from Rat Shack and a $.99 pack of plugs are all you need to shorten up this cable and make the installation a little neater.
