New 406 MHz emergency locator transmitters gain popularity with aviation groups who fly in mountainous and remote areas. The powerful signal and built in GPS for exact locating are the main reasons to buy a new 406 MHz ELT. A forced landing in the wilderness or in the mountains can very difficult to locate without the new 406 MHz emergency locator transmitters. They have so many advantages over the old 121.5 MHz ELTs that there really is no comparison. If you want to be found in an crash situation, and fast, the 406 MHz ELT is the answer.
