Have had mine for a couple on months now and have been out with it 4 times.
My wife likes getting OK messages when I am offshore.
Good product and easy to setup online

Yes, it's very cool.

You can never be too safe.

Never used one but heard good things for the cost.

Thanks for the replies; anyone else carrying one of these units on the boat?

My son won one at the Shoot Out on 6/22. I signed-up for the service and am very pleased to have it. Also have a friend who is going to get one for emergencies on the Colorado River where there is no cell phone service. Should be perfect for him, and for back-up to VHF and Cell for me. As noted above, I can also let my wife know we're ok from time to time when we're on the salty brine.

Mike thanks for the link, never heard of this system. Sometimes I feel like a mushroom stuck in a dark room.

Sounds great. I just ordered one after reading this post. Amazon seems to have the best price at $134.46 and free shipping.
