<br><br>The additional channels would require some additional tuning circuitry / DSP on the board.<br><br>Power will be a function of the amplifier circuitry. Easily doubled with a bigger amplifier, but at the expense of power consumption. Is the M version still rated as having the same battery life? <br><br>The transducer is a ceramic ring with a resonant frequency close to the transmission carrier frequency, but it will be a tradeoff in efficiency as you move away from the optimal frequency. A transducer that has to cover down to 25 kHz I would expect to be somewhat larger than one that only needs to extend down to 31.25 kHz. I may be mistaken, but I think the four channel units are optimized for channels 1/2 and are less efficient at 31.25 kHz. The eight channel units I might expect to be optimized for somewhere in the middle (29?).<br><br>Sean<br><br>-------- Original Message --------<br>On Nov. 10, 2020, 17:49, David Colombo via Personal_Submersibles < personal_submersibles@psubs.org> wrote:<blockquote class="protonmail_quote"><br><div dir="ltr"><div>Sean, <br></div><div>On the STX101 M version which is the same unit as the STX101, it has 10 watt capability and channels 5-8 extra.
