Autometer narrowband O2 is crap.. They didn't build any hysteris into them, so they just get buried in noise instead of real signal. It's kinda sad, because it's so cheap and easy to do, all it takes is a passive filter. I've seen it done beautifully in cheap digital fuel pressure gauges, which work on the same voltage measuring concepts.

Anyones narrow band gage will suck. ANyone who spends money on one is going for the bling I hope instead of a usefully took to tune with.
As for the comment about the shop that see's lots of broken autometer, I would guess for every HKS/DEFI gage thats sold, there are 50 autometer's sold which could possibly explain that.
