ARTEX ELT 1000 ACE BASE PACK
Overview
| The ARTEX ELT 1000 is a value-priced upgrade to standard 121.5 MHz transmitters, which are no longer monitored by the Cospas-Sarsat system. The 406 MHz transmitter produces a much more accurate position, typically 3 kilometers as compared with 15 to 20 kilometers for 121.5 MHz transmitters. When coupled to the aircraft navigation system via a navigation interface, the ELT 1000's accuracy improves to approximately 100 meters. |

Per the supplier: The Artex ELT 1000 does not have an internal GPS. It runs off the aircraft GPS.
The ACE is an ACK E-01 replacement kit. For a new install, you will want to order the ELT 1000.
