Paul:
The Corsair has a wide and narrow RIT, so it should be possible to copy
that design. You may need to change the RIT pot to get a wider voltage
swing.
There is no RF gain control on the Delta 580, but I believe that there
is an attenuator switch, possibly a push-pull switch on the front or a
slide switch on the rear.

For those of you familiar with the 580 Delta, I have a few questions.
The literature says it has an RIT/TRX of + or - 1 khz.. I would not use an
external VFO and this would not be enough to work up 1-3 split. Has anyone
tried to make this tune farther than 1 khz?
I do not see any reference to an RF gain control. That would be a must for
me.
Since this would be primarily a rig to take on vacation/trips would this be
a good choice? Where we go there is not a lot of 30+ over9 signals, so
close in imd is not an issue. Size and weight plus performance are the
issues.
Any input positive or negative would be appreciated.
Thanks 73 Paul K9OT
