Good that you were able to obtain the pair together!

For your comparison experiments, I would suggest that you use
the external keyer for both rigs. Also, turn the Corsair II side
tone down as much as you can (thumbwheels on the bottom of
the rig case for volume and pitch of the sidetone). The Corsair
sidetone is a sawtooth waveform, and sounds, at least to me,
more like a buzz saw than a tone, hi. So I use the tone from
my AEA Morse Machine instead when I key. I presume your
keyer also genertes a sine wave sidetone, which is more
pleasing, at least for me, to listen to, hi.
