[aprssig] A question for an electronic design tech./ engineer

[david vanhorn]

Ok, that adds some complication.
I've done underwater metal detectors.

I would be VERY tempted to change from analog circuitry to a processor, and
use magnetic reed switches for tuning. That can work through a permanently
sealed case.  Battery charging can be done inductively, but all
rechargeables have a finite lifetime.  Anything with seals though, is
problematic. Pressure isn't an issue, the casing can be filled with mineral
oil and then it will go deeper than you will without a JIM suit.
