## Discrepancy

DURING THE ROUTINE ELT CHECK PROCEDURES THE G-SWITCH FAILED TO ACTIVATE.  REPEATED G-LOAD APPLICATIONS RESULTED IN VERY INTERMITTENT ACTIVATION.  MOST OF THE SIGNIFICANT G-LOADS DID NOT ACTIVATE THE 121.5RF SIGNAL EVEN THOUGH AN AUDIBLE CLICK SOUND WAS HEARD COMING FROM INSIDE THE UNIT.
