Oh for sure I understand the limitations, and I am aware it is not as effective as a stand alone PLB. However I would like to be able to let Wifey know I will be late/staying another night etc.
She would likely get SAR out before I ever need it purely because I couldn't let her know I was good. But I figure that the ability to send/receive messages for a slightly reduced location function is of more value to me personally.
I always carry multiple use items, including signaling.
Agree though.
