Indeed - a Garmin InReach is about US $500 and already ruggedized and tested. I understand the DIY aspect of this project is the fun part, but it definitely isn't a way to save money.

With a robust used market, as well. I laughed at the battery life goals for this - the inreach mini I use lasts _days_.
