Review: Peace of mind for solo walkers - It's difficult to review this device as one would hope never to have to use it, like an insurance policy for example. However for a solitary fell walker like myself, it's good to know I have it with me if the unthinkable happens and even then it would only be used as a (very) last resort.
Review: Very Pleased, no further charges and very light weight - Very Pleased, no further charges and very light weight. My last resort insurance as a lone walker, I hope I don't need to use the devise. the paperwork was easy as were the instructions.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What's the difference between the 220 and the ranger**
A: The Ranger has exactly the same level of waterproofing as the 220 and is made of a more robust plastic. It also has a 50% longer transmit time. There is also size a slight size difference. Operationally they are the same.

**Q: Can I use this on land?**
A: Yes, I bought it for my son for safety who does a lot of hill climbing.  I have a different one for the sea but you can use them both land or offshore.

**Q: Could the seller confirm the battery expiration date please. Really want to buy one but battery replacement is expensive.**
A: Hi... This is a new McMurdo Fastfind in a sealed box, but the battery life spec is six years, and will therefore be the expected life of a new unit. 
If you have any other questions, please don't hesitate to contact us. 
Regards, Offshore... Outdoors.

**Q: Does this have a mmsi number on it , my company need it to have a mmsi number on how do i get it on this**
A: Cannot find a specific reference to a MMSI number on my device - it has a HEX Id and also a PLB 9 digit number. Not sure if MMSI refers to marine vessel use only.
