Who said anything about not being required? Just because it's now a
glorified boat anchor, doesn't mean it's not required.

ohhh yeah, it will now be a criminal offense to remove the ELT now
that is is no longer monitored...

...no longer monitored by satellite, that it.

Actually, ELTs were required (and monitored) for several years before the
satellite network was added. (Started by the Russians if I recall correctly).
Now this just takes some of us back to square one. Even without the satellite
tracking, your ELT is far from useless.

Would you rather that the FAA require you to trash your old ELT and buy a
new one before your next annual?
