How to test proper functioning of 406 MHz with 118 - 136 MHz radios?


I could be wrong - after just one read through of the regs. But I think
the answer is: "In the usual way" (usual in the US anyway).
Take the ELT out, and strike it on a tire, after noting the allowable
time window. The 406 ELT gives an audio alert, and squawks on 121.5 too.
