Default Iridium docking station. Anyone have any recommendations.

Dogs,

I am looking for a station for my iridium 9505a sat phone.

I want to mount it under my console and just have the handset in my overhead electronics box.

Anyone seen or have one they really like?

Thanks,

Mike C

I have one you can look at which was put in by Rodgers...it's mounted up at head level and is out of the way. I snap my phone in and out with ease..

I know the Globalstar system I had was sweet. External antenna, plug the phone into the craddle and wa la... when it worked, which was rare.

Dont know about the Iridium but have a look at the Isat phone from Inmarsat unless you are committed. Decent price on phone and minutes, slick docking station and supposedly global coverage. I use mine occasionally offshore and it has worked flawlessly.
