I got spot 2. From open sea sky at the coast and on the car dash, I sent a series of 4 “ok” messages all of which arrived. On thanksgiving evening, I took it to our neighbors’ and after dinner, I turned it on to demonstrate how to send an “OK”. On arriving home, I found it’s corresponding email notification – but it went out right through the roof or double atrium windows of their Eichler house in the middle of the building! Other than those windows, which were distant from the unit, it is a cinder block building. I’ll bet some tree cover won’t be bad!
