ELT antennas are rarely mounted on the belly of an airplane. If you
see an antenna on the belly most likely it is the transponder antenna.

To be honest I don't know. Good question to ask the ELT Company.

Thanks for your post Jim. The part below brings to mind a question:
since the belly of the plane seems most likely to take damage in a
crash, why are ELT antennas there?
