El Gato Loco often has one during our trips. You might U2U him or wait until he chimes in.

Curious but...

Where would you be going? Unless you're deep in the mountains you wouldn't ever be more than an hour or so from cell phone coverage. Baja has changed.

Here's a place in San Diego. Baja Pits recommends them for the racers and pit crews. They might ship it to you in Baja.

I bought a couple from these people at good prices. Never rented them, though.

Don't use Globalstar! Not a nice company. They're coverage is lame as well.
I've heard Irridium is much better.Still very expensive.
DON\'T SQUINT! Give yer eyes a break!
