Just wanted to let anyone interested that SPOT is giving current SPOT owners a discount on the purchase of a SPOT 3. It looks like $50 off the usual $150 price so the actual locator would be $100. The link is:

Anyone considering a SPOT for the first time should also be aware that there is an annual subscription cost to make the hardware work, and the price for that starts at $100 per year. Most people seem to buy the $150 per year package so the initial cost of a working SPOT is around $250 including the $50 discount.
