Title: Re: spot vs. sat phone Post by Jim J Solo on Sep 26th, 2010 at 4:33pm
I've seen two different people use the 1st generation SPOT in the arctic. The only negative they said was they didn't know if their message was sent. I think the 2nd generation added some lights to confirm your message was sent.
We used a Sat phone for real communications, i.e. Yes we're where we thought we'd be after 16 days, coordinates are ####. Please come pick us up, weather permitting. SPOT was more of a toy, "Hi, wish you were here". |
