GWX Hydrophone Station Volume

[AVGWarhawk]

Perhaps ths 16K mod has something to do with it???? If you are using the 16K mod it allows you to hear that far also????

I'm using the 16km mod supplied with the GWX DL.
At least I'm not the only one here-thought I was going crazy-I may try to reinstall the whole thing to see what happens.

Maybe Kpt Lehman will see this and check it out.

where does one set this key for selection of hydro volume... if it does have more preset scaling, then id like to know to test it out please..

cheers,

Ditto that!

Also, regarding my problem, I am on my first WAW patrol using GWX along with the LRT Lite mod. My boat got the crap DC'd out of it early on, ALL major systems rcvd damage at that time. Everything's fixed now (after about 60 hours) but some systems now say "Functional" vs Normal. Could it be that my hydrophones are functioning but due to earlier damage aren't working 100%? This seems a bit far fetched to me but....

I think I'll wrap this patrol up then run some sound tests before I gut everything and reinstall.

I can look into this issue tomorrow. However, I must say that regarding the listening range of the GHG hydrophone (the early default hydrophone) during my current patrol... using the 8 km mod... I've been able to detect contacts manually at more than 20 km.

Hydrophone receptors should be easily damaged by DC's... as these receptors are unprotected.

Thanks for getting involved Kpt.
As for normally hearing sounds at that distance -no problem for me either but, like i said this is the first real patrol I've gone on actually putting everything to the test-UNBELIEVABLY happy with pretty much the whole GWX package. This is just something I'm running across now. Don't recall this to be an issue in my prelim test patrols, hence the thought that perhaps the damage suffered somehow degraded the performance(even tho it was all "repaired").
