## Discrepancy

DURING 100-HOUR INSPECTION, ELT SYSTEM WAS TESTED FOR OPERATION.  UPON ACTIVATING PANEL MOUNTED REMOTE CABIN SWITCH, PN 2019-10, ELT WOULD NOT TRANSMIT.  AFTER REPEATED ATTEMPTS, ELT WOULD SOMETIMES TRANSMIT.  ELT WAS REPLACED WITH A SERVICEABLE UNIT, PN 3000-11, S/N 326702, AND REMOTE SWITCH WAS REPLACED WITH NEW SWITCH.  (X)
