vr3 oxygen analyser kit / calibrating meg head

Hi Everyone,
Hhas Anybody Used The Vr3 Oxygen Analyser Kit? Is It Worth It Or Should I Go With An Independant Unit? Also Would It Work For Using It To Calibrate The Meg Head? Would Be Be A Great Feature, Less Stuff To Lug Around And Loose. I'd Be Very Greatful For Any Hints From Anybody Out There, Thanks,
Cheers Ivo

If you have a VR-3 with an external cell and a plastic bag, you have an oxygen analyzer..... no need to buy their kit.

PP02 at 1 ATMA = %. Just learn to move the decimal point two to the right...

Seriously, the VR-3 like *any* other PP02 sensing computer is just an 02 analyzer with extra software included. I made a nice little delrin adapter that the P-Connector probe that I use in my rebreather fits into, that then plugs into any female DIN port for analysis, but it's just a fancy substitute for a plastic baggie. You *certainly* don't need to buy extra hardware and maintain a second sensor to use it as a viable 02 analyzer. The VR-3 is a great piece of equipment. Color screen a must for older eyes....
