Wiring ELT to Skyview

[purlee]

Maybe I am being a little obtuse in my old age, but Elmer's question had me intrigued. I can't quite see the advantage of wiring an ELT to Skyview.

Could someone expand on that please?

Some 406 ELT's can transmit GPS position when triggered, giving more accurate position reports to Search and Rescue. The connection people are making is using SkyView's GPS out to feed this data to the ELT.

Ah! That explains it! Mine already has GPS built in and does this automatically.
