Question Descent T2 Transmitter - Noise Question

[SassyOwl]

Hi everyone,

I'm considering the Garmin Descent T2 Transmitter and was hoping for feedback from those who have used it. I've heard that the T1 version has an audible beep, which can be quite noticeable. Has anyone noticed if this issue has been eliminated or reduced in the T2 version?

I'd appreciate any insights or experiences you can share regarding the T2 transmitter. Thanks in advance!

Really good question, curious as well.

You'll hear it in a pool. Not a chance of hearing the chirp wearing a hood. On a calm reef dive I can hear it if I'm listening for it, but mostly blends in with the crackling bubbling background reef noise, and I don't find it annoying at all. Putting it on a 6" hp hose so it's not right behind you ear and closer to your shoulder helps too.

It's sonar though, not RF, so you can't really expect silence. It's power level can be set as well, so you can find a tradeoff between volume, power usage, and reliability.
