Arrives today. Wanted the mini antenna but got the original sized one for $270 shipped.

Let the comms begin!

Hello JIm, I’m just curious do you need connectivity for work purposes when out on the trail? For me part of the joy of being out is I am not connected and I can avoid my personal problem of being a political junkie. :grinning:

In my mind I am always at a remote high-elevation lake surrounded by snowcapped peaks.

Welcome aboard! It has been a game changer for us in so many ways. Really came through a couple of weeks back as we negotiated tow truck rescue and lodging after breaking down on Kavanaugh Ridge. Dozens of phone calls and web lookups while on the mountain. Allowed us to negotiate what would have been a $3500 rescue from a dedicated off-road hauler into less than $1000 after including food and lodging while we waited for AAA to find an intrepid driver willing to take the job.

What are the monthly fees for that?
