<div dir="ltr"><div>Sean, I purchased all of my units on Ebay as well. The source for my topside base unit, diver unit, and (6) headsets all were from a sheriff's office that was updating all of their diver gear. Most of the headsets looked like they had never been used, and the base and diver unit had very little wear. So outside of Ebay, local law enforcement who have diver recovery teams might be a resource before they hit ebay. It would require a little bit of leg work, but if units are planned to be replaced it could be a resource for the psubs community.<br></div><div> <br></div><div><br></div><div><div><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div>Best Regards,<br>David Colombo<br><img src="http://static.squarespace.com/static/533310a9e4b0fba62008a464/t/5339c1f2e4b041bac4e25d1b/1396294132055/?format=500w" width="200" height="110"><br>804 College Ave<br>Santa Rosa, CA. 95404<br>(707) 536-1424<br><a href="http://www.SeaQuestor.com" target="_blank">www.SeaQuestor.com</a><br><br></div></div></div></div><br></div></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Thu, Oct 15, 2020 at 11:07 AM Jon Wallace via Personal_Submersibles <<a href="mailto:personal_submersibles@psubs.org">personal_submersibles@psubs.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div><div style="font-family:times new roman,new york,times,serif;font-size:16px"><div></div>
<div dir="ltr">I can comment that unless you are on a stable dock the "surface" unit can be unwieldy. It also is not waterproof. We used Cliff's surface unit in a small dingy at Lake Tahoe and I found it difficult to handle the particular day I was manning it. Waves were 4-6 feet (very windy that day) and lots of spray coming over the dingy. The surface unit is bulky under those conditions, I had to keep the surface cover closed to keep it from getting too wet which was a pain when necessary to adjust the volume/squelch. I found it was just a lot to handle under those conditions.</div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">I've got both a surface unit and SSB2010, but for the reasons stated I am planning on using the surface unit within the sub; the SSB2010 at the surface.</div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">Jon</div><div><br><u></u>

Not quite as feature rich as a dedicated surface unit, but might be a good choice owing to the flexibility to reconfigure for diver-diver or diver-surface.<br clear="none"><br clear="none">Sean<br clear="none"><br clear="none"><br></div></div></div>
