Orcatron Communications Ltd.


In addition to the standard Subphone with a range of 10 km, Orcatron offers the Subphone TX, a lower powered model with a range of 3.5 km. The Subphone TX is designed for applications such as tourist submarines, where the submarine is never at any great distance from the surface vessel.

An additional feature of either Subphone model in tourist submarine applications is that the Subphone can be connected directly to the submarines public address system. Passengers are therefore able to become more involved with a presentation by listening to communications between submarine and accompanying divers, and by being able to ask questions themselves.

The Subphone and Subphone TX provide the most affordable, high quality communications capability in a compact cabinet on the market today.

Portable or fixed models are available:
a) Portable, heavy-duty aluminum carry case with internal speaker, battery, battery charging circuitry, handheld microphone and accessory set. An optional headset c/w boom mic is available. (For a waterproof portable Subphone see model 2190).
b) Rack mounted for permanent installation, such as on board one-atmosphere submarines.

Internal pinger mode for emergency situations.
Tape outlet allows for recording of all communications.
