Perdix AI and left port

[buddhasummer]

I'm going to buy a Perdix AI, long story short, I wear computer on right wrist, my travel rig only has one HP port on the left. Am wondering if I'm likely to have any signal issues. I'm 172cm tall. I did contact SW and they advised there "might" be an issue given its range is 1 meter. Just wondering if anyone is using the same set up and their experiences. Cheers.

You're talking about a 6" difference. If it's really that sensitive, I think we all have bigger issues.

If it is an issue, buy a HP extension hose to route the transmitter to the right few inches.

There won't be an issue. I wear mine crossed as well and I also read my wife's tank as long as I'm within 4-5 feet of her reg. When I get out of range of hers it will sometimes tell me I lost all coms but a button push clears the message and my data is always there. I do like getting her data without asking just by swimming a bit closer to her. I don't usually make the effort to do that but when we get close, I just check my wrist to see how she is doing.

Thanks for the replies people. Yes, I was a little surprised that they said it might be an issue, covering themselves perhaps. Yes, I had thought about adding a hose to re route if required. Thanks for the first hand experience Ray. Cheers.

I got the hp hose that was about 12-18" and ran it along the inflator hose. I was hitting the xmitter on things as I passed under it and was afraid I would damage it. I ceased using it long ago.

And no signal issues after that?

Well I tried mine out today for the first time.
I wore it on left wrist and the port is on the right. I didn't have a single issue with it.
I tried it at home when I was setting it up and I got 10-12 feet away before it dropped however i had to get about 5 feet away before it would re connect. it didn't drop once diving and I swam with arms full outstretched for a good minute trying to see if it would drop.

no the xmitter was on my chest/ shoulder strap of the bp/w and not behind me. the main benefit was that with the sp mk25 reg the xmitters would stick up somewhat and it was the first to hit an overhead.

Got it, thanks.
