And if anyone is thinking about the Find Me Spot, I signed up as a dealer a while back, bought 20 units and decided not to pursue it. I have about 6 or 7 remaining and you can have one at my cost of $120.00 + shipping. Haven't had the time to put them on Ebay, but there are a bunch out there.

Thank you to all who corrected it. Antenna on the belly is transponder; ELT antenna is on the ELT itself which rides in a little cage on the wall of the baggage compartment inside the plane. (But it was worth making the goof to evoke the detailed lesson on emergency SAR from Jim Truxel that resulted -- thank you! And, like Ed, I'm wondering what the best alternative to the expensive new installed-ELT would be, from the point of view of the CAP folks who do the searching. What do you think, Jim? Assuming we leave the old 121.5 ELT in place, is a hand-held PLB or something like Find-Me-Spot a better addition?) Linda N3437H (Sky Sprite) L.A. 2e.

If you see an antenna on the belly most likely it is the transponder antenna. Syd
