What I can't figure out is why the Spot box doesn't have a 12V input.

told me in an email it takes some kind of expensive battery pack.


The SPOT just used two AA batteries but they recommend Litihum. Alkaline
can be used in a pinch but they say transmisson power will be reduced.

It really should have a 12 V jack but it was primarily designed for back
packing and other carried on the person applications.
