Spot LLC is dedicated to providing the highest quality and best performance products to our customers, therefore, Spot LLC will be conducting a voluntary return on any new model SPOT Satellite GPS Messenger™ (SPOT 2) purchased since October 1, 2009. During recent testing, we discovered that some of the new SPOT 2 devices might not meet battery and messaging operating specifications.

Incidentally, I read a blog entry on Lou Dawsons Blog where he says "I’ve not worked on a comparo (of PLBs from McMurdo, ACR, and SPOT). As for me personally, I’ve quit messing around and just got a sat phone. Got tired of how the beacons give a shout out for rescue but no way of giving details of situation. Seems like that will continue to be very problematic. In my opinion, Spot for example needs simple texting and a small keypad. They could just charge an arm and a leg for the texting if they wanted to, as it would be mostly for emergencies.
