Mooneymite Posted July 11, 2014 Report Posted July 11, 2014 Has anyone up-graded to a 406 ELT and got a "working when removed" Ameri-King450 ELT that uses D-cell batteries? I have an experimental plane with an ELT that uses batteries that are worth more than the ELT! I would like to switch to something that uses the cheaper batteries. I know these are going obsolete and I can get one from Spruce for about $200, but..... Quote
Alan Fox Posted July 11, 2014 Report Posted July 11, 2014 That's a shame , I just sold one on ebay for 106.00 Quote
jetdriven Posted July 11, 2014 Report Posted July 11, 2014 The ACK E-01 also uses D-cell Duracell batteries. Quote

Mooneymite Posted July 11, 2014 Author Report Posted July 11, 2014 The ACK E-01 also uses D-cell Duracell batteries. One of those would probably work, too. Do you have one? Quote
jetdriven Posted July 11, 2014 Report Posted July 11, 2014 In my plane, but its not for sale. I can't imagine they are very hard or expensive to procure. I'd pay 100$ for one, just be patient with Beechtalk, Ebay, or VAF. I've had good luck buying stuff like this by PM'ing the sellers and offering 1/2 to 2/3rds of their asking price. I recently bought some overlapping nose gear doors, later model plastic trim wheel with mechanism, baggage door, MLG retraction link, KX-170B radio parts, DME box, etc this way. Quote
Mooneymite Posted July 11, 2014 Author Report Posted July 11, 2014 Can I make a strong suggestion for you to up-grade to a 406 ELT very soon? Quote
jetdriven Posted July 11, 2014 Report Posted July 11, 2014 not a chance. I like the cheap batteries, and the whip ELT antenna hidden under the dorsal fin. The 406 antenna options, suck. Quote

Sauduster Posted August 25, 2014 Report Posted August 25, 2014 Are you still looking for an ELT? Quote
