@HeliMech that's what I do....
@HeliMech I have eaten through the first set of batteries on the transmitter. Have probably 30 hours? Never lost signal. I had them on both posts of my doubles and never had an issue on either post. This last trip, I got a low battery alarm and one of them cut out with the other being extremely intermittent. If I put my wrist back almost on top of the transmitter it would catch a signal and then drop it when I got back. The Perdix "stores" the last pressure reading for a bit though which is nice.
I changed the batteries on the SIT and no problems on the next dive.
I don't expect to ever need to put an analog SPG on, just new batteries since there is no battery indicator during normal use. My current thinking is to replace prior to any "big" trip and just eat the battery cost
