Thanks to Phil,Barry,Bob and all others that have been helping with the audio 
problem on corsair ll. I changed the resistor to 100k,th en 220k .After each 
change the ALC light flickered 

with less drive,but audio had no change. Recieved card from station that made 
me aware of problem. In the remarks h e said it also was distorted. What a can 
of worms. Am going to set it on the shelf for a week then get back to it. Maby 
the headache will subside.  For now I'll use my paragon and be thankful I have 
it. Thanks to everyone this has been a good learning experence. 

de nf4r  Dave  Hope this goes to the right place.

I think so.  You can be certain by checking if pin three goes to the mic 
input through a 1 uf capacitor and 106.8k of resistance. 

Ten Tec frequently showed one half of an IC being used when it was in 
fact the other half in the circuit.
