Thanks for the URL.  Just a word of caution, the ODS model that has
the safety mode Oxygen Depletion Sensor (ODS) system, the manuf.
says: "ODS Model does not operate above 4500' feet elevation. "

Seemingly!, the 3 smaller models (the Olympian A) do not have this
ODS feature, (at least it is not commented upon on the Co's URLs),
but are  "Operational up to 14,000 feet elevation".

Just stirring the pot some more :-)    Malcolm S
