Rod, these work much like a cellular phone, and of course the hackers
have already figured out how to clone a given reg. This is a big problem
when diving with hoovers, as they can effectively "steal" your gas if
they have cloned your second stage. What I did was use the "pin" code
buttons on the wrist computer, which allows you to enter your pin code
before taking a breath. Needless to say, this is not recommmended for
deep air divers, pot-smokers, or idiots ( sorry Zambeck). However,the
idiot problem has been solved by the use of a wrist slate which holds
the pin codes. A new computerized and integrated version is under
development which recognizes the unique signal of the second stage
combined with the heartbeat of the user, and iterates the pin back and
forth for a breath.
