I've also had problems with the transmit distance from the TU to WU.  I now
attach the TU to a port on the left and bring it over my left shoulder
close to the wings inflate.  My WU is on my left wrist.  So far this has
seemed OK.  I just hope my arms don't stretch any further carrying all the
heavy kit!! :-).

The PC interface seems to be very choosy to when it does and doesn't want
to work.

My husband (you all know he uses the Nemesis II by the 13!! mail messages
he sent - although he is blaming the mail system) is now onto his 2nd set
TU and WU units.  For a failed pressure sensor -   Mind you Cochran must be
very clever to be able to pump air into the cylinders while diving - the
pressure at the end of the dive read 100 bar higher than at the start.  And
also with the first set of TU dispatched to the UK there was a problem in
that the % for the 2nd mix dropped by about 5% when removing the dial-a-mix
probe.  This is now solved.

I'd like to be able to program the time to show OTU and other parameters to
be longer than 3 secs.  Especially when first getting used to the unit
display.

I'd also like to be able to dump the data out into a database I've already
written to store all my dive data.  So far it looks like I'll be using the
DAN download and reformatting.


To answer Didi's questions for the Nitrox II

Where are the representives in europe ?
        Mine was purchased thru Runnymede dive from the UK distributors UWI
Circle.

Are this toys available in metric versions ?
        Yes, all apart from breathing parameters which is still imperial.
UWI cricle reset all units to be metric on dispatch from the UK.

Has any computer the capability to switch the "MIX" under water ?
        Yes.  Will cope with switching too and from two mixes.  Assumes
that wehn you stop breathing from the cylinder that has the TU attached to
it you have switched to the 2 mix.  You can then switch back to the first
mix if necessary.

Is a Trimix version around ?
        No

Whats about computer-interfaces & software available ?
        Uses a dial-a-mix to set mixes when a PC is not available.  I
personally think that without the PC interface you lose a LOT of other
features.  You also do not know what the parameters have been set to or can
change them eg from metric to imperial measurements if necessary, or alter
the factory setting of the ascent rate warning for 0m/minute
