Darryl, thanks for clarifying that SPOT/IN_REACH are not equivalent to PLB in terms of reliability and in terms of who handles the emergency response (and how well and reliably they handle it).

The SPOT/IN_REACH marketing materials pander to the end-users' wishful thinking that these devices are equivalent in functionality.
