[PSUBS-MAILIST] OTS comms headset.

 Thanks for the info / pics David. Perhaps the larger top side transducer is more omni directional to transmit to multiple divers. Alan

 Alan the transducer on the diver unit locks in place with a twist lock ring. The 100ft transducer cable uses the same locking rings. The 25ft cable has the transducer with an integrated cable and a locking ring on the other end. The funny thing is the fixed transducer is bigger then the the diver transducer. Not sure why. I dont think I have seen a cable longer than 100 ft. See photos attached. David

 Thanks Jon, do you know the depth rating for the XTS-101transducer. If its designed as a top side module I am wondering whether the transducer is not as robust as the divers transducer. I have seen that you can purchase a 100ft extension cable for it, so it can at least go that depth. Alan

  Alan, don't know, but I will certainly look into it.  Sounds like it could be as simple as a junction box that accepts VHF and UWC inputs, and a toggle switch to select the appropriate radio.  Nyutco modified his headset to use two boom mics, one for VHF the other for UWC.  I don't remember how we switched between the two transceivers though.  Maybe someone else does.
The STX-101 will be easy to modify for off-the-shelf headsets.  It uses a separate banana-clip jack for headset and microphone so there should be no cutting of wires necessary.  The SSB-2010 is going to be more of a hassle because it will require cutting and splicing their stock wire adapter.

  Some great thoughts here. Jon, are you going to incorporate topside Communication through the headset in your design? Looking forward to seeing what you come up with! I like the idea of the push button on the controls. Alan
