Hi David, I encountered those red lights also. Is there any chance that, after sending an OK transmission, Kristen hits the OK button almost immediately again?
If I remember right, doing so cancels the previous transmission, and gives red lights.
I found that the best way to assess a transmission was to watch the ON and OK led's after making a transmission - sometimes for up to three minutes - to make sure the lights continue to blink in phase. If they continue to blink in phase things are ok.
I'd be disappointed to find out that she has a defective unit!

Hi Kristen,
thanks for keeping us posted on your latest adventure! It sure looks like a lot of fun.
I've been intrigued especially to see that you've been making use of your SPOT beacon.
I've found it to be a handy unit also: simple and reassuring.
Best of luck on your next legs!

Hi Adam--
When I talked to Kristen this morning, she said her SPOT is showing red lights. I sure would like to know regularly where she is.
