    I'm thinking of picking up a new fast find 210 personal locater. It looks small and light enough to easily clip on and the price is right. Anyone have experience with these?

    I've used SPOT and was very satisfied.

    Thanks gonzo. The $99 annual fee for SPOT makes it twice the price over a few seasons. Is it worth it over a 406 PLB? Both are really cheap now.

    I suppose it depends on the coverage.
