    Oceans subsonic computer

    Agree, that is why YouTube videos from the guys who do them for the adverts really do not sway my decisions, but I do appreciate the raw info they provide. Oceanic does not have to give units away, they can loan them out for evaluation. I just don't think its a good plan to sit back and hope...

    Why don't commercial or SAT divers have an octo...?

    Wow :( So is it a kind of Job that you stay in for just a short time or do people work in the industry for decades? Seems like doing this for too long becomes really risky.

    Why don't commercial or SAT divers have an octo...?

    I met the Son of one of my Fathers business partners in the 1980s, both of them were on a vacation trip with us. The guy was about 30 and while I cannot remember to many things about our conversations, I do remember that he had tons of cash and was spending it like he was a rich Arab Sheik. I...

    Oceans subsonic computer

    If your confident the product is ready for prime time you need to get these into the hands of a few respected forum members that are still actively diving and still actively posting to the forum. Bottom line is you need to get several of these into the wild so people will hear real world...

    Diving at Beaches Negril Questions

    The Keys off Kingston are where you want to go if you want to see big fish and ship wrecks. The problem is that it's not a tourist town and the water out there is a bit dangerous. I have heard so many stories of close encounters with Bull Shark that I just don't feel comfortable unless the...

    Shearwater Teric why no password system?

    See post #24 Yeah Really! So long as that name and phone number stays in the unit it is considered stolen property and if you ever find out who has it you can report it to the police. If they try to sell it the new owner will most likely report that he was sold stolen property.

    Diving at Beaches Negril Questions

    I have been on at least 30 dives in Negril and about 100 in Montego Bay and others in Kingston off the Keys. Negril is the worst of the Lot by far! As for the 7 miles of beaches in Negril I find the beaches to be great looking visually but the shallow water means you have to swim out like 1/2...

    Diving at Beaches Negril Questions

    Negril is not a great place for diving. Montego Bay on the other hand has some great spots. Unfortunately they don’t take tourist to those locations anymore because of the dangers and liability. I have done numerous dives with a boat captain that I met over two decades ago. He does some private...

    The realities of Artifact Hunting... The cold hard truth

    I think it's more like dishonest people can ruin life for everyone. Common sense died a long time ago! Today if you put a sensible law into place the Lawyers pick it apart and exploit all the loop holes. Often times the only solution to the Lawyer issue is to just Ban something completely. I...

    Indonesia closed for foreigners 01 - 14 January 2021

    Meh don't believe everything you read. Many of these Vaccines for example Astrazenca are made the old fashion way. The two mRNA ones are new but the Efficacy of it is not as high now as it was when it was first released, (New Variant issues). Anyway the point I am making is that while...

    Teric and Perdix Cover

    It's nice to see that you got them in. I bought a $5 pack of dental wax and used a bit of it to coat the inside of the protective cover. It now slides onto the Teric a lot easier and I don't have to worry about it possibly scratching the finish,

    Shearwater Teric why no password system?

    No your still not understanding it! The Only way you could ever see the Pin number is if you went into the: Setting -- General -- User Info Menu. In there you have THREE LINES: Name/Contact1/Contact2. A FOURTH line would be added called "Password or PIN". You enter a four or 5 digit password...

    Shearwater Teric why no password system?

    Thank you! As you said most people just do not understand what it is that I am requesting. Maybe your explanation will clear things up!

    Shearwater Teric why no password system?

    LOL she was naive! One mans Toyota is another mans Porsche. Worst thing you can do is underestimate the knowledge of people in a foreign country. Many of the things western people take for granted is the equivalent to six months of wages for people in poorer countries. In Taiwan a Perdix is...

    Shearwater Teric why no password system?

    You don't need a bunch of security, the password either matches or it doesn't. This is not like an iPhone where you have teams of guys dedicated to breaking into the device for the $$$. I would doubt that anyone would ever spend the time to try and crack into a Terics operating system, there is...

    Shearwater Teric why no password system?

    Its just another input line after the Name and Telephone number. You enter it using the same keyboard sub routine that is used to enter your Name and Number.

    Reading Wireless Air Transmitter using Arduino

    Yes it certainly seems to be FSK but after stacking some pics of the signal and looking at them vs PSI reading I am almost certain it is encoded. I kind of lost interest after that because I just don't have the time to figure out how it is encoded and worst yet I might find out it is encrypted...

    Shearwater Teric why no password system?

    They probably can but I suspect they are not going to get involved. Apple was faced with this issue in the past and decided that they were not going to get involved. I suspect that they just don't want to deal with any possible legal issues. What they did do, due to the murders that...

    Shearwater Teric why no password system?

    Really, you don't see the deterrent? Somebody puts a Teric up for sale on this forum who's going to buy it with a Name and Telephone number embedded in it that cannot be removed? Sell it on eBay and it becomes a Police matter if the Buyer reports that he just got sold some stolen merchandise...

    Shearwater Teric why no password system?

    I see, your one of those people who do not embrace change very well even if the change is not apparent to you. If Shearwater put in a Password system for the Owner Info you would not even know about it unless you went on the forums or read the release notes. You could leave it at the 1234...
