[PSUBS-MAILIST] Adding an OTS surface unit inside sub

[Jon Wallace via Personal_Submersibles]

 I can't find a manual for STX-100 online either, maybe writing OTS to see if they have a copy would be helpful.  It's two channel, yes?  My guess is that it's 5-watts which is what the subsequent STX-101 provides.

OK, Likely I’m late to the party, but discovered today I needed to connect pins 1 and 3 of the Tyco plug that goes into the unit from the transducer in order for it to turn on.  Duh.  The surface units are turned on by attaching the transducer.  Connecting pins 1 and 3 grounds pin 3 so the thing will come on.  Or you could just jump those two wires inside and not mess with connecting the pins at the plug end.

  

This is another of my eBay scores:  An older STX-100 5 watt surface (or maybe 10 watt as I can’t find any details online – anyone know?) unit I picked up for $125.00 US.  Ha!  I take a chance on these older OTS models, but for the most part they work as advertised.  I plan attaching to the inside of the hull with my new favorite method:  magnets.
