[PSUBS-MAILIST] Comms for the SeaQuestor Sub

[Alan via Personal_Submersibles]

David,
Very good, You must be thinking about these options in
your sleep.
I am making my flight controller as I couldn't find an option I was happy with.
Have a 3 axis joystick for horizontal thrusters & roll, $15- & a thumb slide
top hat joystick for vertical & possibly a horizontal thruster.
In addition to the coms ptt button I am considering up,down,left,right 
& select buttons for screen navigation, but will see what it looks & feels
like on the mock up.
Cheers Alan

>>> Hi Alan, my plan is to use the ssb2010 with headset in the sub and the St101 on the surface with headset. Once I get all the pieces I plan on running some experiments on the volume and headset control. I have access to 6 mics, and 6 transducers at a pretty decent price. So i may grow my inventory to play  with . My 101 showed up today, and i should have the 2010 and headsets later this week.
