[PSUBS-MAILIST] Wireless Trolling Motor Controllers?

[Alan James]

Steve,
I have a blue tooth wireless option on my ambient.
It went in to a spasm on a pre dive trial, with motors & ballast tank fill & vent 
turning on & off, so I have lost faith in it. It has the potential to go out & do
it's own unmanned dive.
It is a great option for launching. I was leaving the sub in the water untethered
while I parked the car, & then backing the sub in on the remote to board; 
also was driving it on to the trailer remotely.
Handy & great party trick with an audience watching. I think Jon was looking
at some motor controllers with a remote option a while back.
Alan

All, just came across something interesting.  Apparently there are some “wireless” controller/trolling motor packages.

While this control arrangement seems to have some limits it also might have some applications.  I am not sure yet what type of “wireless” technology it is using (RF?).  Maybe something that can be used in psubs? 
 
I’ve just not heard these products discussed and was wondering if anyone had investigated more?
 
Steve
