I'm getting down to the little odd and ends things to do before the rubber meets
the road (or shall I say the air meets the wings). I got to testing the ELT
today (Orange Ameri-King unit). I receive the same warbling transmission
in the "arm" position as I do in the "on" position. The box has been kicking
around in the aircraft and garage for well over 2 years. I am thinking
perhaps
it has gotten impacted and the accellerometer has been latched so it is
transmitting. The reset buttons do not stop the tone on 121.5 in the arm mode.
Does anyone have any experience troubleshooting these things?
