Don't even think about it.
If you know that you are going for 300fsw, the Air-x will be of no more
use to you than a bottomtimer.  Also,  the Air-x is based on air, you
did'nt think about going to 300fsw on air, did you ??.  And if you don't
follow it's deco-profile, it's getting pretty mad, and won't work for
the next 48 hours. (flashing SOS).

The only thing that I know about regarding transmission failure, is that
the Air-x won't be able to calculate your gas-consumption, and you can't
se whats left in your tanks.   But there have also been reported
problems when using mobile phones to close to air integrated
diving-computers using radio-transmitters.
But there are pros and cons regarding every computer.
The depth gauge is accurate, but never thrust on only one depth gauge
and timer ,  if you are doing deep dives.
