Re: [TenTec] Corsair II

Well that is the normal operating characteristic of a PTO rig.  They will 
tend to drift aplenty at warm up, but will stablize after awhile.  My lil 
Century 21 is the same.  Drifts like crazy at first but after about 30 to 40 
minutes it becomes fairly rock solid.  As well with a Ten Tec 544 which I 
used for a few years at our club station in W6 land.
