Reply from Stanley Tools on whether their laser-measuring device would work to measure height above water: "The unit will not measure liquid or any other reflective material. If you are measuring a solid surface above the water, then it will be fine." Oh well, I guess it's back to sonar then... Has anyone tried any of the ultrasonic measuring devices over water? I think Polaroid used to use them for on their auto-focus cameras years ago, that might be an idea to pursue if anyone's got one of those laying around. -- GregR --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to NavList@fer3.com To , send email to NavList-@fer3.com -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
