I purchased this for Idaho and Oregon elk hunts where there is no cell service. This unit is light weight, easy to use and connects well. I tested it while chukar hunting and found it was always available as I passed in and out of cell range.
The quick buttons for "check in" and "SOS" are really handy for the cold weather while you are wearing gloves.
I'll have a full test of it in the fall of '22 when elk season kicks off again. For now it is working well!
Be warned that when it is first activated a three month continuous activity fee is required. Not a deal breaker but it was a surprise.
