What kind and how long Hi Jon. Yes, no doubt David's system is inadequate to meet all the needs of
the subbers in it's present form. Phil's system is obviously very good
as witnessed by us all.
My question (copied above) was how could a "hard wire" system be set up to
communicate with a sub that is maybe stuck and was able to release a buoy
to the surface.
David's system will get some good testing next year as a means to talk
between subs, most likely ones that are pretty close to each other, or to
someone on the barge, again close by.
I was wondering if a long wire could ( 1000 ft.? ) be placed in a pool
and get a voice transmission through it.
If ( and that's a big "if") it was possible to get a voice signal through
on a relatively small wire, it could be used as an added safety device for
emergencies.
We've talked extensively on escaping from a sub and it never sounded like
much fun. If a sub is very deep and divers can't get there, it would help if we
could at least talk to the trapped guys and maybe figure out a way to get them
up. If good "hard wire" and "real time" comms were on hand, it could be possible
for the trapped guys to guide a hook within reach or maybe some other type of
help.
A wire system wouldn't be any good for just having a "chat" but in an
emergency may be of some use.
P.S. Send me an off-line note so I can ask you a
question.
