I just bought the TerraFix beacon. Thanks for showing me how to send that message. If you could film how to set that up on the computer, I'd appreciate it!
@erikgoestocollege - I needed to update the review on this. In a nutshell the ACR 406 MHZ beacon is VERY reliable when it comes to summoning help. Fact is, there are probably none better. BUT, when it comes to those "check in" messages, (which use different sat's than the ones used in emergencies) I have found it is NOT reliable. Time and time again, my check in message is not sent when I'm in the mountains. - I will be moving to the Spot 2 platform.
