Divers positioning simultaneously with voice transmission | Divers positioning simultaneously with voice transmission | Automatic tracking | Two-way data transmission | The most affordable solution for amateurs |
1 The maximum number of devices supported to be processed sequentially is specified.
2 The minimum value is indicated when working with one transponder beacon located at a distance of up to 100 meters from the base station
3 For the diving version, the maximum depth is 70 m
4 Different maximum depth for different system versions
5 The parameters are available only when working with the RWLT pinger. When positioning diving telephone devices, these parameters are not available.
6 These parameters are available only when external sources of navigation data are connected: course and base station geo position
7 These parameters are not available in the diver’s version
