[QUOTE="user 22230, post: 660736, member: 22230"] Probably worth mentioning either Sat Phone or PLB both need clear view to Sats otherwise same result. I prefer a Sat Phone over PLB as it gives you the option to tell responders what the actual situation is. Also most Sat Phones can be set to keep sending message at whatever intervals you wish, with my Sat phone you have the option to send to four nominated people / numbers which will come thru with GPS co ordinates included. This is preferred for myself over a PLB device as local responders not only usually know the area much better, but also will get there in a fraction of the time compared to what emergency services would take to do so. So it really depends on your location and circumstances to set yourself up with what ever will give you the fastest result and solution to the issue at hand. Be it a flat tyre, bogged or a life and death situation. 👍 [/QUOTE]
