[Acoustics] Rio's and bluetooth serial connections

[John M Shelton]

Roy,
We are using bluetooth radios with are Rios routinely  and have been very 
pleased with their performance.  We are using the Promi SD-202 with a 
dipole antenna.  I have been getting the radios with antennas for about 
$140/radio.  Jon Hortness did a quick range test while we were in 
California last year, and the radios were still communicating with no 
problems at 300+ meters.

Let me know if you have any questions,
John

Has anyone used a bluetooth serial radio to connect their laptop to a 
Rio? These things can transmit up to 100 meters. If your only using one 
  com port, using these radios could be pretty easy. I'd appeciate any 
feedback.
