Fascinating.

The "pinger" is a tiny piece of junk !!!

FYI:

No ugly faces or manic histrionics involved in the commentary.

Dave Jones eat you heart out.

Pretty much what I expected.

It's a single purpose device best kept as simple as possible for reliability, battery life etc. That whole FDR is pretty old school though.

The commentary nearly sent me to sleep, no chance of that when Dave is talking (whether he's annoying or not is subjective, but Dave is never boring).

Apz, but unale to relocate it again.
