## Discrepancy

WHEN REMOVED FROM BOX, THE AK-450 ELT DID NOT PERFORM ON THE BENCH AS REQUIRED.  THIS IS THE 2ND ELT RECEIVED OF THE SAME MODEL WITH PROBLEMS.  THE AUDIBLE SWEEP WOULD STICK AND ONLY A SINGLE TONE WOULD BE HEARD.  WHEN TURNED ON, THE ELT WOULD SOMETIMES NOT OPERATE.  WIGGLING THE SWITCH AND/OR ANTENNA CONNECTION WOULD HAVE INCONSISTENT RESULTS IN GETTING THE ELT TO OPERATE.  ELT WAS NOT INSTALLED IN ACFT DUE TO THESE PROBLEMS.
