Hello all,
we are looking at Spot Products for back up when we're travelling.
Two questions;
- what is the difference between Spot 2 and Spot Connect?
- what does it cost to hire a Spot?
Hoo roo,
Steve

With your indulgence Eity:
I am going to put a plug in for the satellite phone. It allows full voice both ways. I am sure that if I carked it them my wife would ant voice comms. A calming voice the other end is 100% better than a cold hard text message. And we all know how hard it is to get the text correct. Even on a
forum with a lovely big keyboard and screen
Thread 96699 shows how a phone helped with a quick and satisfacory recovery of a heart attack patient. Voice for me thanks. Stuff the cost.

G'day again,
I just read the thread now.
It seemed to get pretty emotional.
The thread highlights the importance of having some form of long distance comms.
I hate to think what the lady's family would have been going through with Mum having a heart attack as they're scattering Dad's ashes to the wind.
Fortunately we have great emergency response crews to back up our calls for help in Aus.
Take it easy and best wishes to you.
Steve

No worries Steve
I did get that way. Didn't I. It was the coincidence with yesterdays treatment, that got me.
Personally, a chat is in order with my wife to get her opinion before I dictate what I want. Sometimes we need to think a bit more than emotions allow us.
