The AmeriKing AK-450 is an FAA TSO'd C91a approved ELT Emergency Locator
Transmitter, types (AF) (AP) Automatic Fixed, Automatic Portable. Meets
the SSA Contest Rules. |

ELTs were manufactured 1973 to
the specifications of FAA TSO-C91. In 1985, TSO-C91A was introduced to
provide improved performance and reliability. Today, C91 units are no longer
allowed in new installations. These first and second-generation units
broadcast an analog signal on 121.5 and 243.0 MHz. The latest technology
utilizes a frequency of 406 MHz. In November of 2000 the International
Corpas-Sarsat Program announced that it plans to cease the processing of
distress signals from 121.5 and 243 MHz beacons on February 1st, 2009. For
details see the 121phaseout.pdf
document. The FAA has not announced any plans to obsolete 121.5 MHz ELTs. |
SSA Sanction Contests in 2007 may require
an Emergency Locator Transmitter (ELT) that is
impact-activated. At the discretion of the Contest Organizers.
| The ELT may be manually selected or automatically activated upon a crash and
transmit the standard swept tone of 121.5/243.0 MHz simultaneously. In addition,
the model AK450 may be used for transmitting Voice Communication to Search and
Rescue Teams, on the Emergency frequency 121.5/243.0 Mhz channel. This design is
unique.
Uses standard Duracell Alkaline "D" cell batteries. Remote
control panel operates from lithium cell. No aircraft power is required for
operation.
Installation is extremely simple for the AK 450. All necessary Accessories
are provided, including; a High Speed - No wind drag antenna, a telescopic
portable antenna, a remote control panel, coaxial cable and wiring
interconnection assemblies, and a mounting tray.
