I'll definitely take a look at it, Dina. I'm learning so much about them from everyone's help here. Thanks

The good folks at Shandy's Place sent me the link to this article

The SPOT device sounds very intetesting. Not exactly a PLB, and it sounds like it is a subscription service ($), but in addition to an emergency "Help!" message, it can send limited "I'm OK" messages whenever you want.

If you Google "globalstar spot emergency" (without the quotes), there are a ton of references.

Another interesting device is http://www.anytrack.com/ It may transmit on cell signals which is less useful but might transmit on the two way pager sat freqs. Basically a new type of lojack to get back that irreplaceable hot rod.
