I used to say the SPG wasn't really necessary, until the day I changed the batteries in my computer and transmitter, and the transmitter went dead. I didn't know it until we were on a dive boat gearing up to get in the water...no signal. Honestly, after diving that computer and transmitter for nearly 4 years, I never considered it wouldn't work, but there it was....DEAD! We quickly connected a console to my regs and I went diving.
I bought a console the next day and sent my transmitter off for replacement, and when I got my transmitter back, I simply left the console attached. I still prefer using my AI computer, adn generally don't bother to look at my console, but it's a huge peace of mind since realistically the transmitter or computer could die at any moment (they are electronics after all!).
