dla member Registered: 09/06/04 Posts: 275 Loc: Hillsboro, Oregon, USA	With SPOT, there is a call-back verification process. The emergency center starts calling the emergency contact numbers to avoid false alarms. After they try the emergency contact numbers then they call out the calvary. Don't they do something similar with the PLBs? _________________________ SPOT Info and Islam Class for Christians Trangia Information
