[PSUBS-MAILIST] OTS comms

[Jon Wallace via Personal_Submersibles]

 I've yet to see one worth purchasing that is less than half the retail price.  Seems like the used market knows that's the sweet spot for these units.

 Sorry David.

As a general rule, for used gear I don't like to pay over half of the new price. I set my maximum bid to 1/2 of the current MSRP, plus $0.01 (just in case someone else was following the same rule of thumb). In this case, it worked out for me and didn't quite get there, but now you have me wondering what I would have paid if you weren't competing. Oh well. Like you say, coordination would probably be a good idea going forward.

So that said, apparently we are collectively still looking for at least two more of these. Let's keep our (group) eyes out.

Sean, you out bid me by $60. Good thing I have my unit from the SeaQuestor available. As fellow psub members we should coordinate our bids. Might save $$ in the long run.David

It looks like I was successful with a bid on eBay for a used SSB-2010 unit. Assuming that it arrives in working order, that will give me the ability to talk with subs and surface units at PSubs conventions. I'll need to pick up a second one to enable diver to diver comms, and a CDK-6 kit to optionally make one of those into a surface unit.

This stuff adds up. I may have to sell my hardwire comms to pay for it, which I am hesitant to do. Even though hardwire can't talk to ultrasonic, there's something to be said for secure, crystal clear comms, plus the safety of the tether.

I guess for now I'll just continue to keep an eye on eBay...
