My Air X is a nice toy for bimbling about down
to 120 ft but I suspect that it is about as 
useful as a chocolate fireguard for pushing 
on to 300 ft. 

If you lose the Tx signal it should not mess up
your deco calc (If it does the Mfr lies in the 
manual !)

Other thing to bear in mind is that if you are 
connecting the Tx through twin cylinders and 
cross connecting via manifolds you are liable to 
get horse shit air consumption info from that 
particular algorithm and a lot of irritating
alarms. Although it will tell you what the 
pressure is, its tiny little mind cannot cope
with things like equalising across. Mfr tells
you to dive with your reserve valve (if you
have one) open to avoid this. 

I also note that it only scrolls to 60m in dive 
plan mode.

regards

Brian
