Another wireless transmitter mounting question...

[Jai Bar]

If I have the computer on left wrist and transmitter on the right, I get comm dropout quite often, need to raise the left hand closer to transmitter to reestablish comms.

I have the Swift transmitter mounted on a short hp hose

I currently dive with a Scubapro G2 wrist computer and a Oceanic Data Pro 3 console. I was in Palau and at that time i was using the Oceanic OC1 watch/computer. Before the trip, had the battery replace in the OC1 but the dive shop forgot to screw the back plate down and pressure test it. I was glad I had the console computer or I would have had to abort that dive and the second morning dive. I will continue to dive two computer because things happen. An overseas dive trip is too expensive to give up a dive for a computer failure. Military training say one is none and two is one.

I was going to do that, but the tech said that it would bang against the tank. The shortest HP hose they had was about 6 inches.

Probably fibbing!

I just use a small bungee (or rubber band) to attach loosley to the lp hose, no banging.

I don't think mounting it on the left or right makes a difference.
I've mounted a secondary transmitter on a dive buddy and it re-syncs in a few seconds when I get within 3-4 feet or so.
I've never had my transmitter fail, but do keep a SPG. I always check if the needle fluctuates before getting in the water ... my tank has been turned off more often than I would like. Either by some "helpful" fellow diver or deckhand.
