Thanks for the info comms!! Very helpful to know. There's lots to consider but I agree, I don't want to use it in a way it's not intended for because it leaves more margin for error. I'm still on the fence about 1-way vs 2-way communication. Seems a combo of PLB and cell phone might be the best way to go.
