SPOT miss by 80 miles? Seems unlikely.
I'm wondering what's up with Dave's SPOT. Mine is nearly 3 years old and the batteries (not alkalines - the recommended lithiums, something far more potent) are still full of juice. Its also spent plenty of time immersed in salt splash and dropped from time to time.
A SPOT with fresh batteries should handle dozens of check-ins a day over the course of several weeks, despite temperature extremes.
