Narrative:

Signed off for the wrong procedure. Misread. Did not see the word fixed and assumed that it was for the handheld ELT. Completed procedure for the ELT (portable) using proper etn and signed off the block. I suggest that this block have a concise description within the statement that identifies which ELT so that the word at the top is not missed.
