[PSUBS-MAILIST] Comms for the SeaQuestor Sub

[Jon Wallace via Personal_Submersibles]

Alan, the transducer is potted very well.  I suspect it is capable of going much deeper than the 500 foot maximum the SSB-2010 unit is rated for.  Cliff has one mounted on R-300 and got it down to 400 feet with no issues.

Thanks Jon & Alec,I see the transducer for sale.....https://www.uswaterrescue.com/TC_35S_Transducer_Cable_p/o-tc-35s.htmfor $209-. Or $189- for the shorter cable athttp://oceantechnologysystems.mwrc.net/en/product.php?product_id=44912The conversion kit I mentioned is $729- & only has the headset & transducer.So if that $189- transducer plugs in to the SB 2010 you could do the conversionfor under $250 using Alec's piece of electronics on an alternative headset.Double the savings in my case if I go for a converted SB 2010 for a surfaceunit.Alec, If that electronics is just the push to talk function would it be somethinglike a single pole double throw momentary switch. That would mean you pushthe button & there is a connection to the mike & a break in connectionto the headset. Or is it more complicated than that? Don't want to get youto pull your unit apart.Jon, thanks for that info. I am now leaning heavily toward 2 x SB 2010.If anyone knows what depth the transducers are rated for I would be interested.I have seen ratings for the SB 2010 but not the transducer.Cheers Alan
