804's ELT

All the rosy specs listed can't apply when an aircraft goes straight in to the sea and immediately sinks. Egypt says an ELT signal was picked up and that must have been the very brief transmission between the g-force switch activating on impact and the hull submerging. Thats all they have got and it doesnt seem they have been able to derive any position information from it.
