Installing an AI Transmitter and SPG hose on the same first stage.

[Flycaster]

I have a minor dilemma.
Shearwater recommends installing my transmitter on the same side as my Perdix will be worn.
That leaves the only other HP port on my MK17 EVO located on the opposite side I wear my SPG.
Any alternate mounting methods out there??
Thanks in advance for your replies.

One suggestion, move your computer to you right side wrist and SPG on left harness D-ring.

Isn't the point of having the transmitter to be able to read tank pressure off the Perdix?

How often will you really be looking at the spg? just route it down the other side...You might consider putting it on a short hose so it rides within your sight if you glance to that side - clipped off to a shoulder d-ring if you have one.

Some people (my buddy is one) don't even use a backup spg when they have an AI computer installed.

Following up on Steve’s helpful post. - In my experience, using my right side for my Perdex, my left hand is free to use the inflator.

Also, try it on the opposite side and you will find that it probably still works fine. Heck, I read my wife's pressure on my computer if she is within 4-5 feet of me. I also agree with charlier's first comment.

Shearwater telling you to put a HP hose on there for an SPG is a CYOA disclaimer, nothing more. If you don't have a mission specific dive that you absolutely can't call in the event of a transmitter failure, leave the HP hose on the deck with an adjustable wrench. If your transmitter fails, call the dive and put the HP hose on before the next one

So now you have trust in AI to the point where you recommend not having an SPG backup. You are making a lot of progress, most promising

I don't remember advocating for having both, though I did advocate against Suunto and was proven right. Also said there weren't computers that made AI worth investing in until the Perdix came out, and stand by that. Don't remember advocating redundant HP monitoring though...

I can say definitively though that if I didn't already have a Petrel, I'd buy a Perdix AI with a pair of transmitters without blinking an eye right now

What were you proven right about?

If it's the recall, do you know the real reason behind the failure?
