Your cart is empty.The ARTEX ELT 345 can be activated manually (via cockpit remote switch or ELT switch) or automatically (the G-Switch senses a 2.3G or greater impact), and transmits a unique digital signal on the 406 MHz distress frequency alerting the closest Search and Rescue agency of your emergency. The 406 MHz signal, containing your GPS coordinates, is transmitted to the Cospas-Sarsat satellites and relayed to the Mission Control Center where it is immediately routed to the nearest Search and Rescue agency. Your beacon’s registration will tell first responders who you are and the beacon itself lets them know where you are to within 100 meters. Finally, the local 121.5 MHz homing signal assists Search and Rescue agencies to identify your exact location. Ease of Installation The ARTEX ELT 345 provides a quick-and-easy retrofit opportunity with flexible installation options such as our standard or slim style two-wire remote switch that does not require any aircraft power. ELT 345 utilizes the same RF output using only one coax cable to transmit both 406 MHz and 121.5 MHz signals through either our 15- or 23-inch whip antennas. The built-in navigational interface does not require aircraft power to operate which greatly reduces the cost of installation. The stainless-steel mounting bracket has a multiple-hole pattern configuration that makes the replacement of legacy ARTEX ELTs or ACK, Kannad and AmeriKing ELTs quick and easy. ELT 345 Kits There are now three comprehensive kit options available that provide users with access to the ELT 345, the world’s most popular ELT. Each option features a 2-wire remote switch, coax cable, antenna, and ELT installation kit. The primary difference between the kits pertains to the antenna and/or switch offering. Our most economical option (part number 8102), comes with our standard black whip antenna and standard 2-wire remote switch. The other two kits include a lower profile antenna option featuring a black whip antenna designed for installations where a shorter form factor is required. Lastly, while the 8102 and 8107 kits include the standard 2-wire remote switch, the 8108 kit features a new slim profile switch. The new slim switch is perfect for ACK and Ameri-King ELT retrofits as it requires no modification to the switch panel cut-out when replacing a legacy phone cord style switch. As an added benefit, the slim switch requires no batteries and operates using 2 wire connectivity for dependable cockpit panel operation.

Great step up from the old school 121.5 only ELT's. Lighter weight by 40%, rack fit exactly where the old ELT had been. New antenna was also an exact fit for the old one and the kit came with a new coax cable. 5 yr battery life instead of 2. Registration process with NOAA was no problem and got immediate email confirmation and paperwork from them. Two bands of emergency signal going out instead of one, GPS coordinates (at least for a day) and signal also ID's A/C registration and links NOAA to the home address listed on the contact form.Down side; Replacement battery is much more expensive. The kit also came with a remote cockpit test/activation switch which was required by the manufacture to be installed. This was not stated anywhere and resulted in a last minute scramble with the local avionics shop to find appropriate panel space for both the switch and required placard (about 2"x2"). Testing also requires specialized equipment ($$), instead of flipping a switch and listening for the signal.Worth it for a piece of emergency equipment that will at least find you world wide and might save your life by a much faster, accurate emergency response.

We have 4 of these, all installed about 10 years ago. The G switch failed on one of them, causing the ELT to go off many times as soon as plane was bumped.New one solved this issue.

It was and is a good product I was told the remote was optional it’s not it has to be installed the cable pin connectors need to be made by the purchasing person. The product is very good quality the installation was three times more than expected And you need to pay every year to test it.

ELT easily mounted in Cessna 182S, replacing Pointer 121.5 MHz original equipment. Antenna mount needed some customizing and the switch needed a new rectangular hole in the panel.Testing 121.5 was easy. Test406 website was down so that frequency and function were not tested.

Great purchase and overall, it was great and inexpensive way to add an ELT to my (older) aircraft vs. carrying around a portable ELT and also added the capability to transmit on 406.
