- Jacques Gudefin on a traverse in the Évent de Peyrejal, Ardèche, France. Three flashes were used: one to light the caver from the front, one just out of sight in the background – even though there was no line of sight, the Pika200Pro gave no problem using its internal slave – and a flashbulb below water with a RadioPopper Nano receiver kept above water. This relied upon a piggy-back arrangement of transmitters to run both systems together. Photo: Chris Howes

- Radiolocation and Communications on the USDCT 2023 Expedition to Sistema Cheve in Oaxaca, Mexico (10-11)
(PDF 1.0MB)
- Brian Pease has designed several single-wire telephones which are eminently suitable for use in expedition caving. He has also devised a means of using the same single line for transmitting survey and other data from deep in the cave to the surface. These developments – plus radiolocation gear modified to permit use at extreme depth - have been put to use on the 2023 Cheve Expedition in Mexico, as Brian describes.
