Re: [RC] Forerunner 301 Review - Truman Prevatt

Nice work April.

I went out to look at the specs of this unit and like many - they don't give the most important spec - the RF sensitivity and antenna gain. The problem with these commerical untis has always been sensitivity and low gain antennas. Because of that they won't work in foliage and are marginal at other times. No matter the features if they can't receive the satellite signal with sufficient strength - the features are useless.

Not a complaint about your review - just a general gripe.

Truman
