Ocean Reefs website blows for this information btw
M100 is on channel 32.768 kHz.
OTS Freq A/Channel one is also 32.768 so you're fine
Freq B/Channel 4 is 31.250

Make sure you are on the right channel if you have the OTS 2-channel model. Default and single-channel is Freq A so you are OK
 
Ahoy Ots
I am 73, a Divemaster w' 2500+ dives in 44+ countries. My wife and used to subscribe to the "Same Ocean" buddy system, occasionally out of view due to visibility and whatever creature we were pursuing to photograph... (please, no replies to this!!). Obviously, we could communicate via rattles or UW air horn. As I'm getting older (there are bold divers and old divers, but no old-bold divers!), the Ots FFM w/ Dive Buddy is something we are considering today. There is another "Japanese" system out there, the Logosease II by Casio, for about $633 msrp. It does more than communicate but it only speaks Japanese... here are a few links: Underwater Transceiver | Logosease and A Talking Daikon is Here. Advance Review of the New “LogoseaseⅡ” (Logosease II) – Ocean+α World This seems to an excellent base to work from without reinventing the wheel and it has been around since 2013. I'm so surprised it never was made in an English version for the English-speaking market! It is actually a nitrox capable dive computer that speaks to you about bottom time, time limits, safety stop cleared, ascend rate all by voice (in Japanese) and lots more. It has 3 channels, (2 for Dive Buddy), voice transmission that goes 100M, and it is 3.3" long, 1.8" wide and 1.6" deep. It clips to your mask strap and communicates by a bone conduction microphone. 5 hours run time, rechargeable, tap to talk... I can't understand why you or anther entrepreneur hasn't gone after an English version. It should be economical for you to buy into without all the R & D costs!!
