Still Pending

"The first unit was purchased on 6/21, replaced on 7/23. only used 3 times. Fell from 3ft to soft trail ground and would no longer power up.[...]f there are clouds, forget it, no signal.

"We picked a pair of these at our local REI on a whim to take with us on a trip to Yosemite as gifts for our kids, ages 9 and 11.
