Gene,All hydrophones have been installed in the array and have been tested fine. Installing "new" junction box following interface cable construction onto Hydrophone Selector Unit (HSU) completed. This new install should allow for farther spacing between array assembly and pream/amp console. Actual in water performance testing probably not until next Spring (2008). Must intall pier mount or aboard small surface craft. Results will follow once completed. David
From: HUNTR2@aol.com Reply-To: personal_submersibles@psubs.org To: personal_submersibles@psubs.org Subject: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Passive sonar at the convention Date: Fri, 11 May 2007 04:25:56 EDT I just received a nice package of literature and hardware from Davidregarding the passive sonar. I will bring it to the convention and be willing togive a short presentation on his design and construction and ideas onimplementing a setup which will allow directional sensing. I've already tried one ofthe transducers in my fish pond in the back yard, hooked up to a cheapkaraoke machine for amplification. I does pick up the sound of the waterfall andwhen I tap a rock on the sidewalk beside the pond, you can hear it quite well. David send some very nice literature which I'll pass out at theconvention. As he says, this is not the final answer to psub passive sonar, but a place to start the experimentation, research and discussion. As a prior navysub guy, he has some practical knowledge and experience. A side note.... I put it up against my stomach and.... eewww I could hear my intestines gurgling!
