    Scuba Quiz

    Your wife's legs could reach from your door over to the door on the opposite sideo_O That must have been a very narrow car or her legs are super long. I am 6ft tall and my legs would be about 2 ft away from the opposite door. BTW for others that may be in this position if you have to shoot a...

    Warning to Teric owners, check the tightness of the lug screws

    How common is this problem with the Teric? I just checked mine yesterday and both pins were loose. So loose that I rotated one sides head and the head on the opposite side did not move. When I tightened them up I got about 4 turns out of the hex driver using two fingers and then it felt...

    Reading Wireless Air Transmitter using Arduino

    I was not listening for the carrier :wink: I was listening for the modulation! I expected some sort of distortion sound from the pulses but heard nothing but steady static and of course no signal on the screen. My Spectrum analyzer can go from 9Khz to 3.2 Ghz and there is nothing on 38Khz...

    Reading Wireless Air Transmitter using Arduino

    Yes I was using an antenna but of course it was not a resonant antenna. If it was an RF signal the DC could never fit a resonant antenna for that frequency. At -188dBm I would be able to see a fly fart at 100ft if he farted RF gas:wink:. I scanned from 20Khz to 50Khz just in case and I found...

    Reading Wireless Air Transmitter using Arduino

    I thought the same thing but then I did a quick look and the FCC is also involved in licensing sonar equipment, they probably have a say in anything that involves wireless communication. I can tell you one thing, this thing is not putting out an RF signal unless the frequency they state is not...

    Reading Wireless Air Transmitter using Arduino

    I saw this post and decided that since I have a pretty good spectrum Analyzer on my home workbench I would look and see what I can see at 38Khz. Well after half an hour of fiddling I see nothing! Even down at -188 dBm there is no signal coming from the AI module but my Teric is picking up the...

    Budget regulator

    I should have been more specific and said that in posts on this forum the Atomic Regs do not seem to be all that popular, also on casual google searches the Atomic is most of the time not even listed in the top 10 Regulators. I certainly see a lot of people raving about Scubapro on here. I...

    Budget regulator

    After being out of the Hobby for some years it's really strange to see how Atomic Regs are not really talked about much today. Several years ago they seemed to be so popular and sought after. Today not so much even though the Regulators have gotten better and reviewers still seem to think they...

    Wanted Atomic B2 First Stage.

    I am looking for a B2 first in good condition that is either fairly new or has been fully serviced recently. I might buy a whole B2 reg as a backup if the price is right. If not the first stage without hoses is fine. Thanks

    Should I wear a snorkel or not

    There are so many baked in positions on this forum, it's almost impossible to figure out what it best. I think part of the problem is that Vague questions in a hobby that has so many different specialties is not productive. Just my 2 cents: Should I wear a snorkel? : Yes if your snorkeling...

    Closed Computers: Teric, Perdix, Suunto, Transmitter, Gauges

    I just wanted to say that I bought the Teric from @Rand and he was fantastic person to do business with. We even had a slight problem in the shipping and Rand was right on top of it. The Teric was exactly as described, packed very well and arrived quickly.

    I’ve read it all and still need opinions on computers

    I was referring to the tech in the dive computers and not their use as a status symbol. Does anyone ever care what someone is diving with? I sometimes will ask another diver on the boat about equipment they may own, just for an opinion but I never feel envious. I also never judge Divers by...

    I’ve read it all and still need opinions on computers

    While I agree with your statement that the status quo changes constantly, there is a point where you really reach a maximum and anything more becomes sales bait. If you look at cell phones you can see that they maxed out the technology about 3-4 years ago and now it's all about marginally better...

    To travel or not to travel

    Just three days ago I dropped off a car at the Airport for a friend who was traveling back from one of the Caribbean Islands from a 5 day medical meeting with local officials about Covid. Her warning to me was don't even think about going abroad! The big risk that is being downplayed is that if...

    The "Proper" way to store a Shearwater Teric?

    Turn off the compass feature then fully charge the Teric and store it in a cool location as close to 60 deg as you can get. Just don't let it go under 40F or above 80F. The batteries will need recharging every 6 months. (See page 82 of the manual) If you let it go to much longer than 6 months...

    How do I use a Sensorcon with a Scuba tank?

    I don't own a 3D printer but I could probably get a piece of PVC pipe that is the same diameter and have my plumber thread it to match the Yoke adapter. Then I can cut it to the right length and glue on a thick flat piece of PVC and shape it up with my Dremel tool. The nipple would be pretty...

    How do I use a Sensorcon with a Scuba tank?

    Thank You. It would be fairly easy to make that device if it was not for the metal cap and nipple. I doubt you can buy that anywhere. When I get the time I am going to see if I can DIY up something. The LP port hose to the BCD would be a lot easier to work with but using a direct connection...

    Tired of this pair of tanks

    My wife and I have tried to enforce a 10 Year rule. Anything that falls into certain categories that is not used in ten years gets given away or dumped. I had to Veto the rule to save some of my RC planes and move them to a storage room that her company rents. If we did not have this rule we...

    Is it possible that you could upload a picture of that Yoke adapter? Thanks
