K. 406 MHz Frequency Measurement – Item 5d
CAUTION: POWER OUTPUT IS APPROXIMATELY 37 DB (5 WATTS). BE SURE ADEQUATE
ATTENUATION IS INSERTED IN-LINE BETWEEN THE ELT ANTENNA OUTPUT AND THE
MEASURING DEVICE TO PROTECT THE INPUT CIRCUITS OF THE MEASURING DEVICE.
(1) Connect the measuring device, referring to SUBTASK 25-62-30-750-002 on page 35.
(2) Activate the ELT, if necessary, by placing the control switch in the “ON” position.
(3) Wait three minutes.
