[TenTec] Corsair II

["Rob Atkinson, K5UJ" <k5uj@hotmail.com>]

On the CII, key and key out (or maybe it is key and key in) are the same 
thing as tx en and tx out on the later rigs, i.e. this is the amp keying 
loop and has nothing to do with the keyer. if you don't have an amp you 
should have a jumper between them.

I think mine had the fluctuating last digit on the display also.  I always 
figured the PTO was not super stable.  a little of this is normal in ham 
rigs from the pre-xtal oven, tcxo, microprocessor clock days.  You just have 
to modify your routine.  arrive home, turn it on first, then do your chores 
and by the time you are done it should be settled down some.  if you go back 
far enough, there were a few guys in the tube boat anchor days who solved 
the stability warm-up problem by never turning anything off.
