I received my newly acquired Corsair (not II), s/n 718, and have a couple of questions: At cold start-up in the morning, it takes about a minute for the displayed frequency to stabilize and display t
The frequency display issue might be remedied by a good cleaning of the pcb connectors. 73, Barry N1EU _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list TenTec@contesting.com http:/
FWIW my Corsair does exactly the same thing on both counts. _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list TenTec@contesting.com http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/tent
I wonder if this is a display issue or are the oscillators actually changing frequency and same is being displayed. I have an older radio, non Tentec, that when first turned on the display looks more
Well, at least I know now the issues aren't unique to my Corsair. I can live with the display one minute warm-up, but the ineffective NB prevents useability all too often. My noise level is frequentl
Bob, Yeah, the random number generator on the display is the display itself. The frequency itself is rock-solid, and after one minute, the display homes in on the actual frequency. Having struggled w
Allen, why don't you add some selectivity to the Triton. I did it to the Argonaut 505 and 509 so there is certainly room to do it to the Triton. In my case I replaced the Argonaut's 4-pole discrete X
There was an article in QST a while back (early 80's ?) about adding 9MHz Ten-Tec filters externally to the Triton. 73, Barry N1EU _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list
The article was in QST Sept 1981. This might be the link to the article on adding the filter (ARRL member's only): http://p1k.arrl.org/pubs_archive/74970 Barry N1EU __________________________________
Well they fit just fine internally, and I don't think adding a filter at this point in time is going to affect the resale value of the rig. BTW, I used tiny relays to switch the CW filter in or out.
YES, that is the correct link. I just downloaded the file. Tnx Barry! 73 - Rick, DJ0IP (Nr. Frankfurt am Main) http://p1k.arrl.org/pubs_archive/74970 Barry N1EU wrote: excellent selectivity. good con
MFJ makes a very effective noise finder for power line issues. It is a small parabolic dish which through the use of ultrasound, detects problems quite well. Once found a call to the Power Company an
Yes, there's lots of room inside the TRITON. I really take advantage of the PBT and notch on the Corsair with heavy QRM...if my damnable noise isn't present, which is why I was focusing on improving
Funny, I find the Corsair's noise blanker to be a godsend with the power line noise from the RR track. Haven't tried the Triton but the Corsair's NB is better than my much newer and much more capable
Wade, Yeah.......been there, done that. After a couple of months of no help from the power company, I bought an 18" ultrasonic parabolic dish and detector 3 months ago to pursue this problem, thinkin
Gary, Wow! Do you have a Corsair or a Corsair II? If it's a Corsair, what is it's s/n? I was told by a former TenTec retailer that the early Corsairs had useless noise blankers. Mine is s/n 718. Do y
Gary, A quick viewing of your QRZ page indicates that unless you've downgraded, you have a Corsair II. Checking the manual schematics for both the Corsair and the Corsair II, I find the noise blanker
Ah, Yes, there are two different Corsairs. This is indeed the Corsair II. I LOVE the noise blanker in this rig. 73, Gary KA1J -- This email is free from viruses and malware because avast! Antivirus p
