I've not used (or even seen) a RB80, but my understanding is that it is a mechanically operated SCR, with no electronics or alarm.

Being a SCR, your MOD is based on the choice of gas that you are using with the unit, so I think there are no monitoring options as standard.

Being a SCR also, it's "more a way to eke out your chosen back gas rather than give all the benefits of a full CCR"

I think training is only via GUE, and that you would need Tech2 as a pre-requisite.

There is another rebreather orientated website which would probably answer all your questions on the RB80. I'm not sure if it's acceptable practice to link to potentially competing websites, so I'll pm you with the URL of the other site.
