What transmitter is this

[James Wright]

Hello. I was certified 7 or 8 years ago and only dove a hand full of times. My kids are grown and out of college now, so I can afford and am diving again.

I came across a delta 4.2 with a fdx10. Attached to it is a wireless transmitter. It only has a number. 016585 107. The lady knows nothing about it. She thought it was part of the 1st.

Does anyone know if these are brand/make specific? Perhaps I could save a dollar on a computer.

It does look like most of the other transmitters.

Does one company make most of the transmitters?

Thanks-James

It looks like an Oceanic, and if it was on an FDX is probably is. One way to tell wojuld be to put a new batery in it (if it needs one), put a first stage on a tank and pressure it, and see if an Oceanic AI computer sees it.

Do you think most oceanic ai will see it?

it almost definitely is an oceanic/aeris transmitter. it unfortunately looks like the older model from the datatrans plus which isn't as reliable as the newer ones though. if you pop open the battery compartment with a nickel, the newer transmitters use a single 3v lithium battery whereas the older ones use 3 small silver coin batteries.

Pre-2006 or so according to the ad this is from. Newer ones have black phillips screws and a plastic base.
