Re: Risk

Why would ANY controller ALLOW this?

The K1 code does not.

If cal fails, it will not allow you to dive. Oh you can try, and it will raise hell. It will REFUSE to display the cell PO2s it "has", and will instead make a stink. It will do the "parachute" thing if it sees a loop PO2 under 0.20, but other than that, its basically disabled - and you can't shut it up underwater either.

Allow a dive to commence with a voted-out cell? WHY? What in GOD'S NAME would drive a firmware designer to allow that?!
