I have an AK-451 ELT.
A few months ago, I found the remote unit beeping away but without the activation of the main unit - in fact, it was switched off as I was still building. I disconnected the remote and left it.
Before I started flying, I re-connected the remote and all seemed well. However, about a month ago, I received a call from the Rescue Centre that my ELT had been activated. I reset it but the next day it went off again. It is now de-activated pending trouble-shooting.
The main unit passes the self-test. I am wondering if the battery in the remote is low and sending a spurious "Activate" signal so I am going to replace it. Other than that, any ideas?
