Ameri-king seems to be in the lead but what models have you purchased.
The 450 is 121MHz and therefore pointless.
All 451's are 406MHz
The 451-2 is a little under $1000. It has no GPS and is accurate to 1-2 kilometers.
the 451-? with GPS is at least twice the price. However I don't think it actually has a GPS unit inside it. Reading about it I see that they offer an interface only for the extra cost.
The only GPS I can find where they actually state that THERE IS AN ACTUAL GPS INSIDE. NO NEED FOR AN INTERFACE HERE is the one craig mentioned. Aircraft spruce 406 ELT W/ INTERNAL GPS 11-08053 $1360.
So Craig. your Artex ME406 is listed at $1949. can you throw some light on this? what do you get for that much. Is it just the interface to connect to your panel mount GPS.
I did call Ameri-king and was told that the 451-2 ($764) has no GPS and no interface.
Unless someone corrects me it seems like my choice is between the 451-2 with no GPS and accuracy of 1-2 kilometers OR the 406 ELT W/ INTERNAL GPS 11-08053 $1360 from spruce.
BTW the "ELT" in the last sentence is the brand name of the unit. "Emerging Lifesaving Technologies"
I believe there is another option for an ELT that no one has mentioned-the ACK model E-04. I ordered mine from Aircraft Spruce. It is $582 plus shipping. It operates on 121.5 Mhz and 406.037 Mhz so has no UHF receiving capability. Aircraft Spruce indicated shipment would be in December but it has not yet arrived.
More information on the E-04 can be found at www.ackavionics.com.
