I wonder if replacing the single turn pot with a ten turn pot with a recessed access would help the sensitivity? Al Secor

I wouldn't get that "el cheapo" one.  I have it and its meadiocre at
best.  Its soo sensitive on the control pot, you are never quite sure
if its reading right as just the slightest bump and it moves.  I know
Scot had the same one and experienced the same.  I think it would be
ok for what its intended for, mixed gas diving.  But for permenant O2
monitoring, its not so good.

I use a crowcon disposable one.

Going to check out that one Hank mentioned now though....
