EBC 302V - Communication Capable ELT
The EBC 302V is designed for either automatic or manual usage. This "smart beacon" has a 360° omnidirectional accelerometer rather than a single-axis G switch. The EBC 302V can, therefore, tell the difference between being dropped, a hard landing, or an actual crash.
If a crash does occur, the EBC 302V automatically transmits a distress signal simultaneously on both the civilian and military international emergency frequencies. Operating the toggle switch at the top of the unit allows for manual operation or pre-flight testing of power output, modulation and battery strength. Like all EBC ELTs, it is designed to stay with the pilot. It incorporates a permanently attached, integral, unbreakable antenna, a nylon lanyard to enhance its portability and is mounted in a quick-release bracket in the cabin within easy reach of the pilot. In case of emergency, if you leave your aircraft, your EBC ELT can go with you.
Talking to rescue aircraft can be of vital importance. In a crash the ability to report injuries, request medical assistance, and give a location, may reduce the time factor in receiving help. The EBC 302V allows you to talk on both emergency frequencies, 121.5 and 243.0 MHz by just plugging in your standard aircraft microphone.
NOTE: This model can be special ordered with a U-174/U 4-conductor jack. The special unit has a "Push-To-Talk" button built in. It is identified by the suffix "J" in its model number.
The EBC 302V met or exceeded the requirements of FAA TSO-C91 and are FCC Type Accepted under Part 87
