B.
Discussion
1)
The product identification label on each ELT specifies the transmission frequencies of the individual ELT. The
ARTEX ELT 345 transmits a frequency of 406.040 MHz. Allocation of frequencies, based on beacon population
per specified frequency band, is controlled by COSPAS-SARSAT.
2)
The frequency references throughout this manual for the 406 MHz component should be considered the
baseline and the specific frequency indicated on the ELT product label should be substituted.
