[PSUBS-MAILIST] OTS

[Cliff Redus via Personal_Submersibles]

 On my boat, I cut the transponder cable and wired it as shown on the drawing.  I used a Subconn bulkhead penetrator (BH4F) and then a inline Subconn connector (IL4M) to plug into the BH4F.  I mounted the transducer just after my top access panel.

 Thanks Cliff
Good to hear. I bought my two OTS systems about 10 years ago and it was out of their scratch and dent section as mentioned so I am committed to using it. Glad to hear some good reviews on it! Cliff. did you have to cut and re splice your cable to get it threw the pennitraiter and if so, how did it go?

 Rick, see http://www.psubs.org/design/comms/R300-comms.pdf for the layout of my OTS underwater and surface comns.  I have used the OTS gear for 7 years on the R300.  Way back when, it was Daniel Lance that put me and many Psub guys onto the OTS gear.  At the time they had a Scratch and Dent area of the web site that let you buy used gear with a substantial discount to their high retail cost.  I have been happy with the gear.  Along with kit shown in the drawing, I also have  Guardian Mask has comms compatible with my gear.  As to range I agree with what Sean and Jon have posted.  The range depends on a lot of variables as called out in their users manual but my experience has been that the max range for most of my sub events has been on the order of 500-1000 ft.  The calmer the sea state, the longer the range. All in all I am happy with the gear and have speced it for my new boat.

 wanted to hear from those who have and have used the OTS comms system. I was wondering how you liked the system and what your max clear audible range was. ThanksRick_______________________________________________
