I like the fact that it has an option for TTL serial communication and the tilt-compensation seems to be quite stable. I wouldn't hesitate to purchase it and I'm going to get one for myself even though I already have the HMC6343.</div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1555934474803_4329" dir="ltr"><br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1555934474803_4329" dir="ltr">Jon</div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1555934474803_4329" dir="ltr"><br></div><div class="qtdSeparateBR"><br><br></div><div class="yahoo_quoted" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1555934474803_4654" style="display: block;"><div style="font-family: times new roman, new york, times, serif; font-size: 16px;" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1555934474803_4653"><div style="font-family: HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1555934474803_4652"><div class="y_msg_container" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1555934474803_5436"><div id="yiv1899068550"><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1555934474803_5435"><div class="yiv1899068550yqt6848112360" id="yiv1899068550yqt94706"><blockquote type="cite" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1555934474803_5440"><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1555934474803_5439"><div style="color:#000;background-color:#fff;font-family:times new roman, new york, times, serif;font-size:16px;" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1555934474803_5438"><div class="yiv1899068550yahoo_quoted" id="yiv1899068550yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1540996335305_13179" style="display:block;"> <div id="yiv1899068550yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1540996335305_13178" style="font-family:times new roman, new york, times, serif;font-size:16px;"> <div id="yiv1899068550yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1540996335305_13177" style="font-family:HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif;font-size:16px;"> <div dir="ltr" id="yiv1899068550yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1540996335305_13176"> <font id="yiv1899068550yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1540996335305_13234" size="2" face="Arial"> </font><hr id="yiv1899068550yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1540996335305_13233" size="1"> <b><span style="font-weight:bold;">From:</span></b> Alan via Personal_Submersibles <<a rel="nofollow" shape="rect" ymailto="mailto:personal_submersibles@psubs.org" target="_blank" href="mailto:personal_submersibles@psubs.org" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1555934474803_5586">personal_submersibles@psubs.org</a>><br clear="none"> <b><span style="font-weight:bold;">To:</span></b> Personal Submersibles General Discussion <<a rel="nofollow" shape="rect" ymailto="mailto:personal_submersibles@psubs.org" target="_blank" href="mailto:personal_submersibles@psubs.org">personal_submersibles@psubs.org</a>> <br clear="none"> <b><span style="font-weight:bold;">Sent:</span></b> Tuesday, October 30, 2018 10:46 PM<br clear="none"> <b id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1555934474803_5584"><span style="font-weight:bold;" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1555934474803_5583">Subject:</span></b> Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] compass<br clear="none"> </div> <div class="yiv1899068550y_msg_container" id="yiv1899068550yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1540996335305_13592"><br clear="none"><div id="yiv1899068550"><div id="yiv1899068550yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1540996335305_13591"><div></div><div id="yiv1899068550yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1540996335305_13599">Jon,</div><div id="yiv1899068550yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1540996335305_13598">I have to buy a compass some time so looked it up but it's pretty expensive</div><div id="yiv1899068550yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1540996335305_13596">at $188-.
