This will be interesting when he finally walks out and tells us what occurred.

I do know that Richard P had a similar failure, where his Spot just quit. I think the Spot people replaced his.


My spot went kaput on me on Friday (and yesterday) as well. I wonder if something was up with with their satellite system? I was able to get a test message through last night once I was home, but nothing went through while I was out hiking. (I was hiking Whitney, so similar general vicinity give or take a few dozen miles)
