You could mount it on your shoulder, but there is no way to know if your head is blocking Spot's view of the satelite. Thoughts? ....... Hi Derek, I have placed it in the pocket of my PFD and have found that it sends the signal equally well as if placed on the deck. This in open waters in the sea. Elsewhere I don't know. Once the device locks on the satellites, it makes no difference of the position it is inside the pocket. So I don't worry about having it on deck facing up, and prefer to have it with me just in case. Besides that, SPOT people must be very happy with the great exposure these discussions are giving to their product.
