You need a system aboard either a boat or sub that can both transmit and rescieve broadband voice sound energy in order to pull off this two way voice communications. Think of it in simpler terms...you speak to tell someone else something you wish to say...but of what good is this if you are unable to hear the responce?
Remember the tree falling in the forest? you must have the ability to hear the tree fall or of what value is the sound produced?
I have made one last discovery in that the plastic solution is all that is really required for this transducer to function at peak efficiency. This negates the need for a wafer of rubber or sealant. In short, it reduces the overall cost of making one of these voice transmitters!

Hi David,
I take it that you need both boats/subs to have a passive sonar to communicate or do you have something else up your sleeve?

Hugh,
This thing should be very affordable too! This transducer for solids lists under e-bay on underwater speakers and is 2.5lbs and only 4" in diameter and sells for about $19.00. It is a tan color and has but two crimp styled push on connectors on the back. It is fully encased in plastic but must be further strengthened to go down deeper. It has 8 oms of resistance just as a regular speaker (just what we were looking for) and is said to take a full 30 watts of power. The system so far produced uses just 7watts.
I will send pictures of my progress on Friday night.

Well done.
At last we can converse with the dolphins who may listen to us, instead of our wives who rarely do!
The understanding will probably be the same level, but our hope may be higher.

Subject: [PSUBS-MAILIST] milestone reached
To all:
A milestone has just been reached in the quest for underwater voice communications. A special underwater speaker comprised of a tranducer for solids has been made that so far looks as if it can be lowered the 500' we are looking for. The goal was to be able to talk boat to boat while both are submerged at 150' deep and 150' apart.
Although it is not intended to function down to the full 500', it must withstand the pressure this far down and come up shallower and still work reliably.
Frank D. is building a pressure chamber and will test this speaker once further testing is completed here in TN. This initial underwater speaker is a key component to Franks passive sonar/underwater communications console.
Other simular communications system are presently under construction with completions and installs soon to follow.
