Condor Posted May 31, 2011 Share #1 Posted May 31, 2011 There's a fellow locally who is selling a SPOT 1 for $45 bucks. Do I want it?? What are my options??? Need a little wisdom feedback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lone Eagle Posted May 31, 2011 Share #2 Posted May 31, 2011 It will basically work for the original intention of the product - call for help via 911, etc. That is the unit I have. They do have one or two upgrades on that product now, however, and the yearly fee is about $150.00 (if I recall correctly). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lone Eagle Posted May 31, 2011 Share #3 Posted May 31, 2011 OH, I did forget, it will do the tracking - so those interested could see your trek to Cody and back. I'll have mine on as well - maybe I will figure out how to set up the tracking feature so folks could follow along, whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Condor Posted May 31, 2011 Author Share #4 Posted May 31, 2011 Thanks Vic. I went ahead and Emailed the guy that I'll take it, and I'll give him a call a little later this morning. He's about 10 miles from me. This'll help take the sting out of starting the service. Thanks for the help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
friesman Posted May 31, 2011 Share #5 Posted May 31, 2011 I could be wrong, (yeah go figger, it does happen...) but I think Rockets is a Spot1 he has had it for 3 or 4 years (since nailing the deer on a deserted highway at night) and he seems to really like it a lot. Its a bit bulkier than the newer ones, but still seems to work just fine. Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could have picked up a new one for $99.95 and get a $50 rebate in the form of a prepaid Visa card, but figured it wasn't worth the hassel. Beside I don't trust rebates anywho.... Thanks all for the feedback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
