I wanted to install a KVH Tracphone 252 which I understand uses the INMARSAT Mini-M service. I read a notice that as of 12/14 INMARSAT will no longer be providing this service? Is this a geographical issue that won't effect the US? I'd want to use it on the AICW and possibly further south? Has anyone else heard this? Are there any users on the board using the KVH Tracphone 252 or the Mini-M service? Have you received this notification? I have a Fleet Broadband Skipper 150 but the rates are not worth it for me unless there is a pre-paid service for the Fleet 150 service. I would only want this in case of an emergency as in there is a hurricane and all local communications are down.
Any help or insight would be appreciated.
