[QUOTE="rc62burke, post: 115425, member: 800"] Hi All Here is my take on the PLB v Distress messenger. Spot type device do have an SOS function, but more importantly they give you the ability to communicate via a smart phone, this may be very handy for non emergency but help required instances, such as vehicle breakdown, more flats than spares, the rescue team would not be happy if you set of a PLB simply because you were stuck & could not help yourself!!! On the other hand it would be nice to advise people at home that you are onto good Gold & will stay a little longer & therefore no stress at home. I am leaning toward the Inreach device due to 2 way comms, the area's I work are rugged & I know a couple of Chopper pilots in the area, I would have their number in my phone for emergencies too. cheers Lee [/QUOTE]
