Hey Guys I have a MSN subscription and a MSN Direct Watch so I know it's not me or my coverage.

However, My unit.. whenever i go to MSN direct, it just says:

"Connecting to MSN Direct" or something along those lines.

I can't find a section that will tell me the devices radio ID / Serial Number or anything, as with most MSN SPOT / Direct devices you add the number to the site to activate it.

I have the unit plugged into the Base, with power, and the antenna plugged into the base.

I DO NOT however.. have the big a$$ breakout cable plugged into the base.

Is that my problem? I have left the unit on for two days straight.. no go.. my MSN watch shows full signal strength.

I guess you have the 500, and it might be different, but in my experience, after messing with scripts the unit gets stuck in some state where MSND doesn't quite work. Resetting it (with the reset button) fixes it for me though.

Soft Reset or Hard?

I had to press thew little reset button on the front. I assume 500 has one, too.
