Re: Thinking gauges for a minute......

Interesting viewpoints....

A button gauge on the K1 would be visible when not diving the unit, but not while underwater, obviously. I think I may do that for the O2 side, and use a traditional SPG on the diluent - at least for a while. After I get comfortable with the unit I may ditch the Diluent one as well - since I'll be carrying bailout gas in a sling bottle with a plug in whip, if I have a "no gas" problem with the diluent side I can always jack it into the unit anyway via the manual add, and even go open-loop (so long as I don't have a flooded unit, in which case the old-fashioned OC reg will come out.)
