Aqualung Mikron and Dive Transmitter

[ClintoKL]

I have an Aqualung Mikron Regulator set with Mikron Octopus and am wondering if anyone is using one with an AI transmitter?
My understanding is that there are 2 High Pressure ports and I assume one is being used by the SPG?
If that's the case can I assume I would need to buy and install a HP splitter if I wanted to have both SPG and AI transmitter? Or alternatively replace the SPG with just the transmitter?
Is that correct?
Thanks

If there are two HP ports you can use both, one for SPG and one for transmitter, if only one than roll the SPG up and put it in your save a dive kit.

If there are two HP ports, you can use both at the same time I think?

Older Mikrons have one HP port. Aqualung later added a second HP port. Given your question I assume yours is the single port?

Thanks all for your replies. I've double checked and there is indeed 2 HP ports and 1 is vacant. I doubt there is the room to attach a transmitter directly but with a 6" extension should be no issue.

with a 6" extension...

Make certain to fit an air spool between HP hose and transmitter.

I attach a Shearwater SWIFT directly to my Mikron. I can upload a picture this evening if you'd like.

Here you go. You’ll see I don’t use a backup SPG but could easily run one if desired.

Brilliant. Thanks so very much! This has really put my mind at ease regarding buying my first AI Dive Computer.
