[pct-l] Peek and Peek charger

[Spring]

Hi Kea -The Peek charger is very light - I can't tell you in grams, but it compares to the weight of the battery.  That said, I carried a regular Peek across Oregon and found it to be only slightly better than useless.  I don't have the Pronto, but believe the only difference is the software.  I rarely got service.  Plus I wish I had set up a new email address because it is not easy to deal with all the email I regularly wade through.  I would think the comparison with a cell phone - which I don't carry - is one that I wonder about.  What cell service does Peek use?  I only found connectivity at Mt. Hood, Willamette Pass and in Ashland.Others were using cell phones and I couldn't get a signal.  I decided I would use it when I go off on city trips, but leave it at home for hikes.  The $20/mo compares positively when priced against most cell phones.
Happy Hiking,    Spring

Second time I'm sending this as the first version seems to have disappeared.

What is the weight of the Peek charger?  Can't find it on the useless Peek
website.  Since the battery only lasts one week, I assume everyone carries
the charger to charge at each town stop.
