Hi Jon and Jay, I would also prefer to have a simpler basic voice communication SCUBA type system if it is reasonably priced and has as good as or better range then the type of soft TDD unit I was thinking about. I have a hearing impaired Uncle that is very interested in piloting my sub and being a big part of the surface crew as well. So I have a special need in this case. I would also have a SCUBA type or the type David is working on for my primary communication unit. But having the other unit as well could be used as a back up unit. In the movie the Abyss towards the end, they sent a diver down really deep to defuse the nuke, and he had to use a special liquid to breath, so he couldn't talk. So they used a typing device like I'm thinking about. Is that a real unit, and if so what is that unit called?
