Ronnie,
Great run down on the ELT requirements. We get into similar 
discussions about the use of not-certified equipment such as 
compasses and electronic displays in our experimental aircraft during 
IFR flight. Do you have as good a reference about those kinds of 
issues. I have always taken the position that 91.205 requires minimum 
equipment and since it assumes it is being installed in a certified 
aircraft the equipment would have to be TSO.  In an experimental you 
can use what ever you want so long as you are able to navigate as 
required. I suppose you can shoot an ILS with a home made device so 
long as it works. I am not sure the minimum equipment even has to be 
certified but it is hard to get a straight answer.
