In sidemount configuration I've two tanks, one on the left and one on the right side. Each tank has its own transmitter.
Seen you're releasing a sidemount feature in lynx, will the two transmitter considered as one in the locator feature?
This is because of their position mount.

It's not me :) but it make it easier to understand that with only one transmitter as locator the body will obstruct the signal. Left tank transmitter will be not viewable from right side and right transmitter from the left. It would be great for the lynx to interpret the two transmitter signal as unique.
The other question is how to position transmitter over the tank? Up, down, left...

Thanks
 
Currently the locator function works for each transmitter separately. So if you buddy wants to locate you he would have to look at each of your transmitters, and then he can choose the one that he can get a better signal from.
Our software developer is looking into option on merging the signals for the locator function, so this *might* be a feature in the future.

As for the transmitter position, make sure that it is mounted with as little obstruction as possible, so ideally pointing away from the tank and your body.
