And you're getting fills there? Time to look for another LDS. There are plenty in your area...

I own an analyzer and will be building a second one when I find the time. But I dive nitrox almost exclusively (except when I'm diving trimix), and I dive a few times a week. I always analyze my gas right before the dive when I'm setting up my gear, especially when diving trimix. My wife and I were also the only ones who didn't have to wait for the only analyzer available on the liveaboard we did a couple of years ago.
Interesting. What is involved with building your own oxygen analyzer? Is it more cost effective or is it a quality assurance thing?
