Re: [TenTec] Corsair II & Titan 425

Carl, et al,

I had a late model Corsair-II that had the tx-en and the tx-out 
jacks for connection to the Hercules and Titan series. It was 
factory installed and I have only heard of one other owner with the 
same. You had to use the dual-pin jumper with it when not using the 
amp.
If you wish to see how TT came up with the signals, you might try 
to find an owner with a late manual revision that includes tx-en 
and tx-out.
