There have been discussions regarding failures of Pelagic Pressure Systems and Shearwater transmitters. For Shearwater, I mean only the Swift. Earlier Shearwater transmitters were manufactured by PPS and should be included in PPS voting in the poll. I would like to get an idea about how these transmitters have failed.
Multiple responses are allowed to cover ownership of multiple transmitters. Responses can be changed. Only 10 responses are allowed in polls, the design is not perfect. I have one PPS transmitter that failed due to a presumed hardware problem. That transmitter was replaced and eventually failed due to the OPV. That transmitter was replaced and works perfectly. I have two other PPS transmitter that have never failed. I will check 3 boxes in the poll:
No failure, own PPS
Yes, PPS presumed hardware failure
Yes, PPS presumed over pressure valve
So, my votes reflect that I have at least one PPS transmitter that has never failed, at least one with hardware failure, and at least one with OPV failure.
Thanks for your participation
