WB sucess

[sukchew at cox-internet.com (Chuck Blue)]

Hi Dan,
  Thanks for the information.As you know I need all the help I can get.I 
emailed  Felipe at Innovate after the repaired LC-1 was returned.(I could 
never get 02 voltage to the Analog 1 output).I was asking what I could do to 
prevent future problems.He suggested a 470 ohm resister in the analog output 
to the ms 02 input.I don't know if you have done that but you might want to 
look into it.
  Now that I have everything operating I have to go back to school and learn 
more about tuning.
Chuck
