Microtech Microtech and what wideband?
Microtech and what wideband?
What wideband do you guys prefer? I have an LTX-8 on a 2nd gen and will purchase a wb02 in the next few days. I'm looking for reliability and ease of use.

Come on guys... if you search this, you'll find all sorts of info!!!
LT8 (& LTX8) does NOT have a WB input (0-5v). It only has a NB input (0-1v). Now some guys are trying to get around this by using a WB sensor/controller that has a NB output and hooking that into the NB input on the LT8. I think some guys are having some success at that, but have mentioned that it's not extremely accurate like a true WB signal would be. My theory here is that you need a true linear 0-1v signal to feed the LT8 to get anything accurate.
If you want true WB datalogging, you're going to have to upwards of the LT8 (or LTX8).
btw, Search!

The LT12 series is enable for wideband. The LT8 is not. The problem (as Trav stated) is coverting the signal to narrowband. In other words with the Microtech parameters . (0v =9AFR and 1v=18afr). However, these parameters can be programed by Microtech. Expect to spend about $300 when all is done .

I was thinking of getting a WB probe and running it to a PLX converter ($35) and then to the microtech NB input. PLX states the converter is only for use with a PLX WB controller. So I just bit the bullet and ordered the zeitronix.
