I'm sure he meant 21k feet as per the specs on the SPOT page....
SPOT works around the world virtually anywhere
* Operating Temperatures: -40°F to +185°F (-40ºC to +85ºC)
* Operating Altitude: -300 ft to +21,000 ft (-91 m to +6,492 m)
* Weight: 7.37 ounces (209 grams)
* Dimensions: 4.38 x 2.75 x 1.75 inches (approx. 111 mm x 69 mm x 44 mm)
* Floats in water
* Waterproof to 1 meter for up to 30 minutes
* Humidity Rated:
o MIL-STD-810E Method 507.3, 95% to 100% condensing
* Salt Fog Rated
o Per MIL_STD 810E Method 509.3, 5% NaCl, 95% distilled water
* Vibration
o Per SAE J1455
o Random, 20 Hz to 2000 Hz, 0.04g2/Hz, one hour per axis
* Drop
o Dropped twice on all six sides from one meter onto hard surface.
And why wouldn't altitude make a difference? Have you ever been above 21k feet and not frozen your *** off?? If the thing freezes over how is it going to work even if there is a perfect LOS?? :smilies27
