You might try experimenting with the value of R46 - it determines how
fast the agc will track a varying signal. If it's a very high value, or
is removed entirely, the agc couldn't track a varying signal at all - it
would simply freeze until the end of the "hang" period.
There's a more detailed description by me of how the CorsairII agc
circuitry works here:

By the way, I love the Corsair's hang agc and converted my OmniVI to
something very similar! "Every man to his own" as they say!

I know this has been discussed at some length--and by the looks of my corsair
II several mods have been made--including a 16v 1000uF electrolytic capacitor
across one of the connector pins.
I can actually live with the popping to some extent but what I find annoying is
the S-meter that seems very non-responsive...it seems to just rise up to a
certain level and then just fall off as opposed to undulating with the
signal...perhaps a minor point, but I work a lot of low signal level cw and
enjoy experimenting with antennas...often the change in S-meter is the only
indication to determine what is working better. I also like to watch the
S-meter move about with the signal strength. Is the cap not discharging fast
enough?
If anyone has some thoughts on or off list I would welcome same.
kind regards,
