To get back to reality.

The nominal life of the data recorders' under-water beacons is up very shortly.

Does anyone know ;

a: Any serious reports of the work being done in searching for the data recorders and their possibilities of success (including depth of water being searched) ?

b: Is the expected life "conservative" and whether it is likely that they will continue to operate (if they are so doing) for a reasonably longer time ?

AND,

I ASSUME, that if they give up the acoustic search for the data recorders that that will be the end of the serious search for the remains of the aircraft ?

Any sensible information gratefully received.
