Well, not an
"exact" location. But you can definately cut down the search area. I
should give one to Lee and Russ to test out with their dive club. One of
them could hide it, and then the others could try to locate it. Use a boat
to get as close as they think they can get on the surface, and then have them
dive down to find it.

Jon,
Although the home built pinger does not meet the ABS standard for a distres
locator, A great use for the one we constructed could be to plant this on a
site of interest for later exploitation. The low power consumption would allow
it to remain active for long durations. This item could be reaquired once
you return to the site and hence used again. As you have tested and can
varify, it works quite well in providing an exact location to
something.
