Hello,

This weekends CW test proved a great workout for the Corsair II I recently 
purchased.

One of the issues I noted, was a thump when the rig was transitioning from CW 
transmit
to receive, in the presence of strong signals. This happened with both ALC 
settings and
both SSB and CW filter employed.

It sounds like the ALC is too slow to handle the transition from mute to 
receive.

Is there a mod/workaround for this, or is this situation unique to my rig?

The only other rig I've heard that has this issue, is the Elecraft K1, which 
does
exactly the same thing, in the same circumstances. (Surprisingly, the K2
does not...I used it on CQWWDX and it performed like a champ, w/100 watts).


Thanks for your insight
John K5MO
