I am flying with an ACK ELT in my IV-P which was purchased from Lancair

before they knew better.  It consistantly turned on when keying the COM

radio that is connected to the antenna in the tail.  Very disconcerting!  I

have corrected the problem by wrapping the entire unit in aluminum foil and

grounding the foil to the plane ground.  The remote control unit on the

panel is hooked up and can be used to turn off any inadvertent firings.

Although, Iv'e had  no problem since doing the sheilding, my advise is buy

the better

unit. Vern was only trying to help you.
