Here's a snippet from the link Ether mentioned....

This breakout board is designed specifically for use with the Talon SRX - it scales a native 5V analog signal to a Talon SRX compliant 3.3V, helping 5V magnetic shaft encoders to "just work" without additional circuitry.

See section 1.4.7 of the Talon SRX User's Guide for more details.

So in other words the MA3 is a 0-5V sensor, but the Talon analog input takes 0-3.3V (also in electrical specs in user's guide).
