OK. Explain why they would have more trouble working at that depth.

Now it’s your turn, tell us what make you think that it would work as usual.

That’s dealing with communication through the water. Presumably the controller wouldn’t have water between it and its receiver under ideal conditions.

Show it. “Presumably” won’t cut it.

For the records, so far the only one with a source is me.

Your link is for wireless transmissions going through water. In this case, it’s still going through air.

It’s not the altitude or depth that matters, it’s the medium through which the signal goes. It will work just fine, from a technical standpoint.

That being said, wireless things are inherently unreliable compared to wired, and it’s stupid to make something so important not as reliable as possible.

I know that. What makes you think that the other part was not in the water? Do you have any source for that?

Well - how about out if the receiver is on the the hull - and the bluetooth signals don’t have to travel through any water?

Maybe. And? Don’t overthink it, I’m answering to someone who boldly claimed:

“OK. Explain why they would have more trouble working at that depth”

and who is long gone btw.
