I'll be doing an experiment early next week with a cross-country

see what kind of tracking success rate is achieved.


I drove from Philly to Memphis over 2 days with the spot laying on the
dash, and I don't think it missed more than a half dozen reports. I
also carried it while towing in a Pawnee and got no reports. ??
