I have been monitoring ACK's new ELT development, because we use the  same HALT testing lab for my company's equipment, as it  would be an easy drop-in for my old E-01.

  

 They will be finishing up their qual testing at Ft Huachuca this month and  will be submitting the results to the FAA.  They hope for a late March  retail launch of the product.  The retrofit kit (sans tray and control  panel module) that reuses your old tray and panel module will be $599.

  

 I don't think that AOPA did us any favors by successfully fighting the  adoption of the new equipment in the US, but maybe some of you have a differing  view.  I know that I will be getting one ASAP.

They are still saying on their website that the retrofit will have a MSRP of $560 and the full kit will have an MSRP of $599.  I’ve already pulled my Ameriking 450 in anticipation of this launch.  If anyone isn’t interested in a 406 but still needs a 121.5/243 ELT let me know and I can give you a good deal on my never flown Ameriking.

The problem is that unless the new 406  MHz ELT is more reliable in a crash then it is 

 still dead weight.  Advantages in  real and inadvertent activations is not disputed.

  

 At this price, it may become more  prevalent in new installations.

  

 I do have a 406 MHz PLB (GPS  equipped)
