Re: MSII daughtercard Idle control output stuck high

That fixed it, thank you, thank you, thank you. I guess the warning in the manual about not changing settings you do not understand is really important....

I procured a replacement for the TIP 102 and upon checking it, realized my old one was still good - I had not noticed that it is a Darlington and does not Ohm out like a regular ...
