I armed my ACK E04 ELT for the first time, with the antenna installed in the typical position under the empannage fairing. I got 5 beeps during the self-test indicating a high VSWR condition. ![Frown :( :(](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
IIRC, others with this model ELT have successfully mounted the antenna in the same place. Whats the secret?
If I stand the antenna vertically (further from the surrounding structure) with a temporary mount (pic 2), no more beeps.
