Q. Antenna Test – Item 7
CAUTION: Do not allow the duration of this test to exceed 5 seconds.
(1) Tune a low quality AM receiver (i.e., radio) to 121.5 MHz.
NOTE:
(2) Place the radio approximately six inches from the antenna.
(3) Activate the ELT by placing the cockpit remote switch in the "ON" position.
NOTE:
(4) Listen for 3 audible sweeps on the radio, which takes about 1 second. An audible signal
verifies energy is being transmitted by the antenna.
(5) Reset the ELT by placing the cockpit remote switch in the "ARM" position.

The aircraft transceiver is not recommended for this test, because it is too sensitive
to verify the integrity of the antenna system and it may pick up a weak signal even if
the antenna is disconnected from the ELT. An AM radio provides a better level of
confidence for this test.
Perform this test within the first five minutes after the hour UTC.
