Hi Y'all,

Just been accepted to the Tentec club. Name is Malcolm call is F5VBU also 
GM3UIN. Many moons ago after the failure of my trusty and much modified FT101B 
decided to take a chance, bought a Corsair One from a friend in a non 
transmittable mode. Replaced the driver transistors and she gave me wonderful 
service,  even now is still a good ham bands receiver.. Dynamic range second to 
none...
2. Decided to go for a Corsair 2 also bought from a friend, very pleased with 
the purchase because in the interim I was using a JRC JST 135 which I had 
consistent bad keying reports on CW... The Corsair 2 is working fine with two 
exceptions... a) on receive it does not got through the pass band of the signal 
as I would analogically like eg with a bit of a warble (after all it is not 
DDS)  b) the 28 mhz dial readout gives a 1 instead of a 2 in the tens of 
megahertz but transmits and receives as per normal. Tentec service maintain it 
is a rf osc/mixer fault but using the JST135 to monitor on transmit is solid as 
a rock..
3. Grateful any comments

Malcolm
NNNN
