Kevin McCready 83 Posted April 2, 2018 Author Share Posted April 2, 2018 What happens if electronic tether battery goes flat? Presume it triggers? I'd be using the clip on too (double safety). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wheels 543 Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 I seem to remember in the hazy places of my memory that one already exists. A small personal unit that if wearer goes over and reaches x distance, the onboard system activates the alarm and marks the spot on the chart.It is simple enough to do. It is nothing more than a case of the main unit setting off an alarm that it lost communication with the personal unit. The main unit just has to have a transmit feature much like a bluetooth signal. With todays digital stuff, it is likely that any existing system could be updated via a software patch to do just that. It just needs to makers to write the software.I imagine that is how KM's RIB watch thingy works. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Island Time 1,214 Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 Yep, they exist. I have a raymarine one in my garage...... For sale, if anyone's interested? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin McCready 83 Posted April 2, 2018 Author Share Posted April 2, 2018 Misunderstanding here. I meant clipped on with the red curly cut-off lead, not a solid tether anchoring you. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
