Question Should I replace my SPG with my new Shearwater Transmitter?

[scubadada]

I’ve found the side the transmitter is on is irrelevant. I’ve also found the 6” HP hose is also irrelevant. I have my transmitter on my right protected by my two LP hoses which route above it on both of my primary reg sets (AL Legend Elite & DR XT1/4). It connects without issue to both a computer on my left & my right wrist (I dive with two computers).

I also run 2 AI computers with my transmitter directly connected on the right side. No problem with connections.

I have an SPG on the left side, runs to my left chest D-ring. I have used the SPG on several occasions over the years

Two transmitter pods on one tank??

This might be a silly or naive question. I recently got my first dive computer with a remote AI tank transmitter pod. I love the functionality though as I’m aware that it makes me reliant on 2 batteries (in the watch and in the transmitter) I do run a backup computer that gives me air pressure...

That’s interesting, thanks! Do you also run an SPG, or do without?

No, I do not run an SPG. Just the transmitter and two AI computers.

Thanks - good to know you've found no signal reception issues regardless which side. TBH I'd be surprised if Shearwater etc didnt make them powerful enough to reach both arms

Interesting POV regarding your redundant SPG, thanks! I guess I'll have to see how it goes. Aside from some deep channel currents and occasional reef hooks I'm (so far) not doing anything particuarly adventurous and the surface is almost always available - so perhaps AI-only is reasonable for my usage.
