Guys,

  

 On every annual condition check I've tested my  ELT with our local tower by transmitting 3 sweeps on the hour.  The tower  would confirm the presence of the ELT tone on 121.5 comment about its signal  strength.  How do we test the new ELTs?  I'm out of the loop on  this...

  

 Thanks.

Requirements are spelled out in 91.207 (d).

Note that all 406 transmitters also contain 121.5 transmitters and that 

likely is what you will have to check, since few of us are likely to 

have 406 Mhz receivers.
