Re: Widebands That You Would or Wouldn't Buy

Well, I bought a spartan2 and new sensor, 17025. Should be here by new years as I got it through Amazon. Thanks to my work that gave me an Amazon gift card for Christmas! Anyway, I pulled the LC-1 out and put in the old NB sensor for the time being. I cannot get it to 'calibrate'. If I do disconnect sensor, power up LC-1, power down LC-1, plug in sensor, it flashes the LED like it is going through a cal then it goes solid like it is done. Then I run it and all I get is min-max oscillation.
I cut the LC-1 open to see what could see. This is a 2004 rev E PCB. I bought it in 2005, I am pretty sure. There are 4 tantalums as far as I can see.
I guess I'll make an order @ digikey and just wholesale replace the 4 of them. Any comments?

Other interesting links all are about getting a current version of the firmware on it. Also I ran across a couple of comments about brown outs during cranking. I'm not having that. Mine is powered by the main relay with a big fat connection to the battery and has been so for over 10 years. Ground is also a big fat one to the head like the MS.
