SPOT tracker mounting

[sean_iow]

My SPOT doesn't seem to be able to transmit all my tracking points these days and I'm wondering if it's where it's mounted.

I used to have it on my top tube next to the headtube but my new frame has a hose guide there which gets in the way of the strap on the harness I use.
I've made a harness to attach it to a rucksack strap and this works ok but I don't always take a rucksack.
There's not really space on my bars to mount it, there's an eTrex and a light and I like to keep the rest of the bars free for other hand positions (Jones).

So I think I might try to mount the SPOT on top of the seat pack. There used to be a pocket thing (spocket?) but I don't think they make it any more. So, who has their SPOT on the seatpack and how have you attached it? Pictures would be a bonus.

I use a Spocket...

Edit: looks like they are in stock at backcountry.scot

Cheers The mesh version I presume? I couldn't find them on the Revelate Designs website.

Surely a tracker should be user mounted on the off chance bike and rider become separated during an incident?

Once saw someone with a SPOT mounted on the top of thier helmet, thankfully the inReach isn't so flaky.

That's one of the reasons I made the harness to fix it to my rucksack strap, mind you I'm not letting go of my Salsa regardless of what happens so the bike and me won't become separated

My SPOT used to be more reliable I'm sure. I'll experiment with other locations to see if it makes a difference.

My Spot came with a strap/karabiner. If I'm using my Alpkit handlebar harness, its luggage straps pass through the Spot strap - Spot sits on top of the handlebar load. Doesn't rattle, and faces the sky. If no pack on handlebar - it's strapped to my arm.
