I've been contemplating getting a PLB for my hikes and was seriously looking at the SPOT mentioned above. Mostly because I don't like carrying something around that I don't expect to ever use. At least with the SPOT I can use it's "check in" capability which actualy aleviates some of the primary problem with a standered PLB, that being if your incapacitated and unable to activate it whoever you have keeping an eye on your check-ins can tell when you miss one. Of course, that does leave the field open for a search from anywhere between your last check-in and your next schedualed check-in point. It's still ALOT better then being missed when your supposed to return.

Does anyone have any actual experience with this unit? Are there any simmilar options out there?
