Listers-

  

 With the recent announcement that the FCC will discourage the sale of the  older 121.5MHz ELTs this August, I would be interested in conversing  with those of you who have done the switch from the ACK E-01 to the  E-04 in a flying aircraft with panel mounted GPS.

  

 Thanks in advance.

Unfortunately, the E-04 from ACK is not yet available - ACK is stuck in certification red tape.

This is discussed in http://eaa.org/news/2010/2010-06-21_conflicting.asp . My question is, does this mean that it is unlawful to broadcast in 121.5 by the ELT. If so, are all the new 406 elts also now illegal since they all from what I see broadcast on both 406 and 121.5? I could not find any that only use 406.

"Discourage the sale," - yeah.  From what I read, it's more like "ban the use of."  The FAA is apparently OK with 121.5 ELT's remaining in use, but the FCC plans to cite you if you activate one for any reason.

This is what the Aircraft Spruce catalog says about the ACK E-04 ELT:

Undergoing certification testing, ACK is not accepting orders for the E-04 until ELT certification process is complete. ACK 406/121.5 MHz E-04 ELTACK 406/121.5 MHz E-04 ELTACK 406/121.5 MHz E-04 ELT

Before taking any action; wait for more accurate news.  The news clip we're seeing says, 'FCC will discourage the sale' not, 'must replace.'   You might be one of the last buyers of the technology, as am I.

  

 The issue isn't about saving lifes; it's about rescue workers responding to false alarms.....

If you're involved in an emergency and a 121.5 MHz ELT goes off, the FCC 

would be hard pressed to fine you.  As a ham operator, I can use ANY 

radio or other means necessary to protect life, limb or property in an 

EMERGENCY and that right should also be with every citizen....



FCC Regulations, Part 97 covers us hams:



    *



      §97.403 Safety of life and protection of property.-

      <http://www.arrl.org/part-97-amateur-radio#>



      No provision of these rules prevents the use by an amateur station

      of any means of radio communication at its disposal to provide

      essential communication needs in connection with the immediate

      safety of human life and immediate protection of property when

      normal communication systems are not available.

I still don't get it (and admittedly haven't done my homework)...how 

will going to the 406 MHz ELTs prevent false alarms?
