Carsten & Pat,

I know there is an integral system on the market, PC driven, which connects 
the GPS link and an acoustic link from a tracking system by computer and then 
tells everybody where everybody is. Trust me, we can't afford it. Woods Hole 
uses it, and IFREMER, but not Harbor Branch (too many $$$).

I have used radios, both VHF and CB to about 50 fsw, but not deeper. There 
has to be a way to convert the GPS signal to acoustic and broadcast to the 
sub, but all that stuff was mighty Flash Gordon in my operational day. Maybe 
Phil will read this and chip in. He uses computers to control the DWs, and 
will be up to snuff on current events along these lines (if there are any).

Best Regards,
Vance
