They aren’t bt at all.

They, from my understanding, have specialized low speed data connections. Some analog and some digital, but stability is the key to its function, not speed so that’s ok. The Suunto pod transmitter says “like Bluetooth” in describing the radio signal, so I’m assuming it is not bt either.

My bet is that given Apple’s dominance when it releases a product in a category it won’t be long before we see BTLE tank pressure transmitters and apps that support them.

Ah. Didn’t know that. That does limit the functionality
