[aprssig] water level gauge for APRS

[Robert Bruninga]

Thanks steve,

I was confused by the waterproof sensor as to what was in the sensor and
what was that other circuit board shown in the Ebay listing?  Is that just
a micro do do something with the time pulse you get back, or does the $7
just get the sensor and it works like you describe as is.  We would tnen
add a packet generator cpu, but we can all do that.

So can you clarify what are the wires coming out of the sealed unit?  and
what is the circut card shown?

Thanks
Bob
