Dwight, I have used my CORSAIR-II for PSK-31 and RTTY. It is stable enough for both or at least mine has been for the QSOs I've made. My CORSAIR-II and matching remote VFO were bought new 10-21-88 new from AES Milwaukee. They have not had any rebuild of either VFO. The one repair, was to the digital display drivers, done locally after I plugged the cable assy wrong.

If the frequency display isn't changing, and the problem is only on 20M I'd be looking at something only on 20, mixing in the audio chain.

73 & DX,

My I been working PSK with my old Corsair and I am starting to have trouble
on 20 meters.  Watching the waterfall, the incoming signal drifts off and
my software can,t decode it.  Sometimes it comes back, sometimes I have to
chase the signal.  I don't know if it is doing the same on transmit.  The
frequency readout is not showing any change when this happens.  On all
other bands the waterfall lines are straight as an arrow and no trouble
coping.  The PTO has never been rebuilt, but it seems to me if that was the
problem it would be on all bands. Any thoughts, anyone?
