Truthfully, although as a private pilot upgrading to a more modern ELT
beacon will eventually cost me money personally, the advantages of the
new systems are overwhelming.

The VHF ELT system was fine for its time, but its time is long past.
It doesn't have the same excuse for continuing that LORAN does.
