The Artex ME406 Helicopter Model (HM), a single output ELT, utilizes the same RF output and only one coax cable to transmit 121.5 and 406 MHz emergency signals to the Cospas/Sarsat satellites. The ELT automatically activates during a crash and transmits a continuous swept tone on 121.5 MHz. During activation, the 406 MHz transmitter sends an encoded 5 watt signal every 50 seconds for 440 milliseconds to alert Search and Rescue.
