[PSUBS-MAILIST] cell phone link

[hank pronk via Personal_Submersibles]

Sean,
I am using a 1/4 inch nylon rope and it is quite buoyant.  A coax would not be buoyant or is it?  The line should be as buoyant as the rope to help avoid entanglement, mind you I have it rigged to be jettisoning.

 Hank, if that's the case you could run a
 dedicated data cable to your buoy, or even run a cell
 booster with coax up to the buoy.  What diameter is the
 line you're currently using?  Another option is optical
 fiber, but then you have additional hardware cost on both
 ends.

 Hi
 Lasse,
 Thank you for the link. 
 Unfortunately they recommend a cable no longer than 50m. 
 Most of my dive time will be between 400 and 500 feet.  The
 cable would work fine because I tow a float the same way
 with buoyant nylon rope.  I could bypass the acoustic radio
 altogether.

  I don't know if this
  is
 of any help, but this unit allows for GSM calls
  underwater. I use their hydrophone in my sub
 and it works
  great.

  Hi all,
  I am curious if anyone knows a way that I
  can activate a cell phone from my
 submarine through my
  acoustic radio.  I
 would have my acoustic radio mounted on
  my
 float (safety buoy)  Since I dive alone I always tow a
  safety buoy with a diver flag.  It would add
 a level of
  safety if I could call for help
 through my cell or a
  satellite radio.
