Re: In Reach Questions
I've been an InReach user since they came out with their first device. They work pretty well but not perfectly, especially in steep mountains where you cannot see multiple satellites simultaneously.
I've had many messages that show as sent that were never sent. I've also missed many messages incoming over the years.
It is a good system, but you have to develop methodology that anticipates the shortcomings. My wife and I have it figured out pretty well. We add timestamps within our messages and clearly acknowledge receipt of each other's messages. "Rec'd message re: Moose down at 1630. Good for you! All good here". If I don't get a message acknowledging receipt I assume the message was not sent.
Is Justin Competent, or just incompetent?
