Don't bother in Alaska

I work for the U.S. Coast Guard and local search and rescue team in Alaska. The SPOT seems to have a huge blackout area up here and we get sent out to look for people who aren't lost all the time. Their family doesnt hear from them for a while because the SPOT can't find a satellite in this vast wilderness. It might work in the lower 48 but up here I'd get a ACR 406.

We used it in Alaska Mountain Range (Foraker) and it worked great.
