This is exactly what is so dangerous about the Cochran dc's -- at the very least, the wrist unit should blank or flash when a signal from the computer is missed (even just one). An improvement would be if the wrist unit had its own pressure transducer, and at least contiued showing depth/time info. Of course, that still leaves you without deco info...(perhaps Cochran should rethink their approach of a brainless display!) -frank -- fhd@in*.ne* | What would this country be without this great land of ours? 1 212 559 5534 | -- Ronald Reagan 1 917 992 2248 | 1 718 746 7061 |
