How much go you figure this is going to cost you, and how many hours
work? I would be interested to hear how well it works when it is done.
There are a few companies that make diver to diver communications that
are inexpensive and can easily be modified to work with a sub.

Probably, you can buy a hydrophone kit for $100-$180.
It's low end stuff, but maybe it could be useful.
The Kitteridge plans sound a lot more high quality
than this one.

Yeah, me too, I'm really fedup of sorting through
capacitors, so I'll take a break for a few days...
If I finish it before I go to the conference, I'll
bring it with me.
