## Discrepancy

ELT INSTALLED NEW JUNE 2001, WITH NEW BATTERIES.  IN MAY 2002, IT WAS FOUND THAT THE UNIT DID NOT TRANSMIT WHEN THE G SWITCH WAS ACTIVATED.  THE BATTERIES ARE STILL GOOD AND THE UNIT APPEARS TO BE GOOD.  IT HAS BEEN RETURNED TO AMERI-KING FOR REPAIR.  FURTHUR INQUIRY BY THE TECHNICIAN FOUND THREE OTHER UNITS INSTALLED IN AIRCRAFT THAT DID NOT WORK.
