To end the saga of the bug-ridden Teric: I worked with the LDS to replace the unit. It was tested in the pressure pot and in the pool and worked well. I'll find out in 2 weeks how it does in the Caribbean. Thanks for all the response.

Glad to hear it's sorted to your satisfaction...and disappointed to note that after seven pages of posts Bruce Partridge didn't bother to get involved...at least not on open forum...I'll stand corrected and extend apologies...if he did in fact PM you...
Make sure you take a back-up with you...

I just bring a spare transmitter.Just an Aside opinion. Redundancy. If I were to use any AI Dive computer, I would without a doubt have a SPG on my reg set. Everyone has an additional Second Stage regulator, why not redundant method of seeing Gas Supply. Also the AI gadgets seem handy only in logging gas usage for future planning.
No if diving a normal profile I know how much air I have based on time, if not normal profile I end the dive. There is nothing wrong with having an SPG on you all the time but I don’t see the need based on several years of AI use with only one transmitter failure and it died in my shop. I don’t always dive with universal good practice, many do as you suggest and it not a bad idea at all.Change the transmitter underwater - mid dive?
Did you run two SPGs before AI?why not redundant method of seeing Gas Supply
This ^I just bring a spare transmitter.
I use 2 transmitters and 2 AI computers that are both synched to both transmitters. It might be overkill, but works for me.So if the transmitter fails mid-dive you change the transmitter underwater - mid dive? There are 2 HP ports on 1st stages.
