<div dir="ltr">Rick, see <a shape="rect" href="http://www.psubs.org/design/comms/R300-comms.pdf" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://www.psubs.org/design/comms/R300-comms.pdf</a> for the layout of my OTS underwater and surface comns. I have used the OTS gear for 7 years on the R300. Way back when, it was Daniel Lance that put me and many Psub guys onto the OTS gear. At the time they had a Scratch and Dent area of the web site that let you buy used gear with a substantial discount to their high retail cost. I have been happy with the gear. Along with kit shown in the drawing, I also have Guardian Mask has comms compatible with my gear. As to range I agree with what Sean and Jon have posted. The range depends on a lot of variables as called out in their users manual but <span>m</span>y experience has been that the max range for most of my sub events has been on the order of 500-1000 ft. The calmer the sea state, the longer the range. All in all I am happy with the gear and have speced it for my new boat.</div><div dir="ltr"><br clear="none"></div><div dir="ltr">Cliff</div><div><br clear="none"></div>
