I'm guessing my ELT never worked from the start. I didn't install it (in hospital for 2nd. triple by-pass) and when I tested it for first time, nada ... no light on the panel as it says it should flash to be A-OK. The battery was dead ... $165.00 later the new battery for the ELT was installed and it wouldn't reset, alway on and broadcasting. So Sarasota Avionics checked the wireing and the telly cable was not correctly wired ... so we used the coupling supplied with the kit that we were not suppose to use to reverse the telly cable at one end ... then the ELT worked but still no luck with the remote on the panel. So a new panel remote is on order and will be installed when it arrives. I hope that allows me to check it properly and then all will be well. I hope.
Anyone else have this problem?
Oh yea, I had to buy a new rectifier for my -12 to get the avionics to work properly even before the kit was finished ... about $180.00. Old rectifier makes a great paperweight.
I hope these little annoyances end eventually ... or is owning a plane like owning a boat? or worse?
