I faintly remember reading or hearing something about ELTs needing enough of an impact to set them off, and that a lesser impact won't set them off and they may need to be turned on manually.
Does anyone know if this is true?
Also, if the ELB is in some sort of trench or canyon, I am assuming that this could severely limit access to satellites?
