Another possible use for the NiTek3 is to use it with the Halcyon RB...

Since the inspired O2 percentage is lower at shallow depths (deeper 80ft, it
is a constant -2%), one could use the NiTek3 to 'switch' to deco gas, or
same gas (at lower inspired O2 percentage) at depths less than 80ft. Of
course, I would only use it to compare against cut tables.

Anyone want to buy a 'cheap' NemIIa ? Brand new - since it is a replacement
from the factory :-)
