I fired up my Corsair II to check into the Ten Tec nets today. It receives fine, but when I tried to transmit on SSB, the ALC light lit up solidly, and it took backing way down on the drive level to

Hi Steve. I'm wondering if it might be RF feedback or something else on the audio-in line. Do you have an RF watt meter in your feedline? And if so, was it showing output even when you weren't talkin
You might check the diodes on the VSWR circuit board. 73 ES DX, Gary - AB9M _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list TenTec@contesting.com http://lists.contesting.com/mailm
It works fine on cw, which is what I normally use. Steve WA9JML 73 ES DX, Gary - AB9M On 11/13/2016 3:16 PM, Steve Berg wrote: I fired up my Corsair II to check into the Ten Tec nets today. It receiv
Then its probably not the diode problem. Have you tried operating the ALC, Process, and Drive controls to clean any dirt or corrosion from the pots? I periodically operate all the pots and switches o
Thanks for the tip, Gary! Now it seems to be working okay. I was mostly on 6 and 2 meters for the past several months, and the Corsair II sat idle. I really need to use it more. I had an Omni VII for
You are welcome Steve. I also have an Omni VII, which is my primary radio. It did take a learning period to get comfortable with it... and it too needs to be used to avoid corrosion in the encoders.
Check any diodes in the ALC circuit. Stuart K5KVH _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list TenTec@contesting.com http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/tentec
I exercised the pots and now it works. I need to keep my radios in use more. Now that I am no longer the executor of an estate, I hope to do exactly that! Steve WA9JML Stuart K5KVH __________________
