Thanks... I did manage to find a few companies out there that had some connectors..thanks to the fine folks here... I was skeptical on some that I found marked waterproof..... as it will need to go down to 200FT

I don't want to lose my watertight integrety... as far as the TX capacitor.. please explain.. I would like this thing to work at its max peak

Thanks,
Keith


I think the IP 67 rated connectors as suggest by Eugene might not be enough. The best you can get is IP 68. Try searching for Bucaneer from Bulgin. Those might be your best bet!

Regards,

Christian

Thanks Christian and Everyone . I forgot all about the pressure ratings . I thought about the pressure on the plastic case and o-rings , but not the connectors ......The Team Work on this Forum is always "Fantastic" . It raises my perfection rating from 92% to 97% .  Shocked
HH.......Regards.......Eugene

Ksightler;

No, actually what I told you was very basic.... the scope has a vertical input and a horizontal input, plus most have a ramp wave, that is applied to the horizontal. In some, it can be set to automatic, and in the older scopes it might only have an adjustable rate, when the rates synchronize, voila, waveform. A scope can be vital for checking phase.

You can set the signal, in respect to the grid so the grid cross lines represent so many volts, or fraction of volts, for each successive vertical line. You can even get a simple gizmo circuit, for a standard, which will allow a set voltage, for your grids. Thus you can read the volts right off the tube face. A course would be good but what I am telling you is simple.... no course needed. Get a handbook on using a scope, at least vaguely similar, like a freebie PDF!

With the light LCD scopes you might make a simple interface that could show a time-domain relationship, to the initial pulse and the received data.... dont know if it would tell anything, but it could impress somebody.  Funny

I can just picture you dragging the boat anchor in a shopping cart! No no!

I have not used a scope much and not since 1982, the year the CBs died.

I keep looking at the new ones, tiny, transistorized, getting cheaper! Wahhhhh! I want one!

ksightler;

....... electronics, and I am a radio amateur, VE7EQP..... used to fix CBs, too, before the craze died the death of a rag doll. Computers.  Metal locators. Gravel depth finder.

I never had much of my own test equipment and a lot of what I had, personally, was home grown.

Yes, a scope boat anchor in a shopping cart, hooked to your P.I. detector.... voila, ground radar...  Funny (no ship behind it, though.... throws off the detector.)

Kidding of course.
