I have had both the 243 and 263 (with 546C and 561 XCVRS respectively. The
main difference between the 243 and 263, is that the 263 has a balance
"fader" control between the A (internal) and B (external) VFOs for
controlling the signal or audio levels when in dual receive (RAB or Receive
A and B).
If I recall correctly the 546C and 243 could be a little hard on the ears
when trying to hear the weak DX and the strong station he was working in the
pile. The 561 and 263 with the balance control was much easier on the ears!
73 & DX,

Well they both use a 5.0 to 5.5 frequency. I believe a 243 could easily
be made to work with a Corsair.

The Corsair remote VFO is the 263. I think there are more differences than
just the connectors.

It may work with the Corsair also. You just might have to change out
the connectors.
