Default Updated SPOT web site

Hi,

It is my understanding that you can buy and use them anywhere. The
spokesperson on the SPOT web site travels around the world with his and it
works fine.

So far I have exported one unit to Australia and the customer has not
complained about any issues with using it there.

I'd be glad to sell you one of course.

page.http://www.cumulus-soaring.com/spot.htm

Being a global system will a US unit ( bought and paid for in the US )
work in Europe?

I only ask because I am p******d off at the typical pricing strategy
being applied.

US price $200 plus subs of $100 plus $50 for tracking upgrade.

Euro prices E200 plus subs of E100 plus E40 tracking upgrade

At the current exchange rates 1 Euro = $1.6

If I put a unit on my Amex card next time I'm in the US no one would
be any the wiser!

Pity theres so little African coverage. It could be a HUGE benefit
there! I know of several challenges just asking for this technology!
