Bill I’m curious to see your external antenna install if you have a picture and what sort of doubler did you install with it? On the RV14 there is room for the ELT on the aft deck and I’m curious if you thought the Artex box would fit there on the 8.
Fortunately, While it doesn't talk to the G3X, It does talk to the IFR navigators so it was just a pin change on the other end of the harness. If that hadn't worked, it would have been close to $200 to have it reprogrammed.
Does the GTN650 and GNX375 allow either option so it can match the ELT or is it better to get it with the 4800 baud NMEA so it’s good no matter what?
Is there a way to test to make sure the ELT is receiving the GPS data and it is getting the correct format?
Thanks, I knew that it would report errors such as antenna stuff but didn't know that it would also report GPS location faults. Mine has always reported no errors so that is a good thing.Yes. when you hook it up there is a test feature that gives you a series of flashes and beeps. The chart in the manual tells you what the sequence means.
In addition to GPS stuff it will tell you when the battery has been in operation for more that 1 hour cumulative and needs to be replaced, and several other things.
I have one- I also went through the issue of having it communicate data in the wrong format for the G3X. I discovered that in the states that's the default setting and you have to specify when you order it if you want the other one.

My 345's battery was due to be replaced later this year, so I did it now during the annual inspection.
The $300 battery's appearance and workmanship is very underwhelming.
