Another factory tach question- RTE

[Ghoste]

Two questions actually.
First, I see on Greg Garners website and the updated tach boards he sells that he offers a unit that has pots to adjust different points in the sweep for accuracy.  That is you can calibrate it at idle and then another pot calibrates a higher rpm.  Has anyone found a use for this feature?
Second, I seem to recall someone on here having trouble dealing with RTE recently, am I right?

I have one of the RTE tach boards, and when I installed it you adjust the potentiometers to get the proper readout on the low end and high end. Their web site states:

" Why should I replace my original tach board with your tach board kit?

Our new tach replacement board has many new features that are improved over the old Mopar original board:

    The new board has sealed 15 turn adjustment potentiometers which will hold their settings and are much more accurate that the

original single turn open pot. The original pot on the original board is susceptible to corrosion since it is not sealed.

    We offer two different adjustments, one for high RPM and one for low RPM, to make your tach more accurate.
    We use modern high quality integrated circuits and capacitors, which should last much longer than the original components used on the old board.
    Our board is made out of high quality fiberglass with a plastic solder mask coating to protect the traces. The original board is made out of paper and had no coating, so it is more susceptible to corrosion and moisture contamination.
    Our board has a voltage regulator on it, so that when you turn on your headlights that tach reading will not change. The old board has no regulator and can change readings when the headlights are turned on.
    Our board works with MSD ignition (and other multi spark ignitions), Mopar Electronic ignition, and points.
    Our board is protected against accidental backwards connections. If you connect the original board up backwards the board gets fried.
    Our board is more accurate than the original board. "

I have not had any problems with any of their products - the voltage limiter, the quartz clock or the tach board.
