  reguard.

    Thanks David 
    The problem with the standard thru hull you are 
    suggesting would take in excess of a month to reach me in this part of the 
    world ,is it a skin fitting type or does it also need to be welded 
    in?does one attach it to the C.T or some where else .

  Glen,     We just voted on a standard thru 
      hull fitting that will accommodate the various underwater comms to include 
      UQC. I would suggest you use this fitting as future use of it is all but 
      ensured. I believe a club discount may exist for this 
      device.   The broadband system I am providing uses 4 wires at 
      present with future construction making use of but only two.   
      Someone steer Glen to the thru hull information as to ordering and 
      specifics 
      please.

  Jim,        Lets ask Jens 
        Laland! He seems to know this kind of stuff. I had a BQS-04 on my 
        boat. Something to make note of...      BQS-* 
        usually indicates "send".. that's what the "s" 
        designates.      BQR-* usually designates "receive 
        of listen" that's what the "r" designates.      The 
        BQR-2 system was the system prior to the BQR-21 which my sub was 
        equipped with and may be a stave (a stack of one or more passive 
        hydrophones arranged in a single row.) In other words it may not be 
        designed for active transmissions at all. You have a gem there so be 
        sure what it was designed for before damaging 
        it.      Jens, help us out 
        here...
