Subject: [LML] New ELT

Time to start a new thread.  I have not seen any reference to the new ELT rules that go into effect next year.
 
Evidently, our current equipment will no longer work ( or perhaps even be legal) as of Feb 1, 2009.
 
It is my understanding that we will need something that works on 406 MHz and transmits GPS coordinates.
 
I have just begun looking and find units from $500 to $3500.  I have no idea what direction to take.
 
What is everyone doing?  What is the easiest?  What is the cheapest?  What is the best?
 
I have an Artex ELT200 and would really like to have something that replaces it with minimal time, trouble and expense.
 
I have even heard that some people are going to portable devices.  I don’t know how that works.
 
Any input would be appreciated.
