Thanks for the tip, Gary!
Now it seems to be working okay.
I was mostly on 6 and 2 meters for the past several months, and the
Corsair II sat idle. I really need to use it more. I had an Omni VII
for a while, and could not get used to it. Then, there was the trauma
of buying a much more recent cell phone...

Then its probably not the diode problem. Have you tried operating the
ALC, Process, and Drive controls to clean any dirt or corrosion from the
pots? I periodically operate all the pots and switches on my Corsair II
and ext VFO, just keep them clean. These old radios seem to get more
problems from lack of use than from operation. TELCO jacks and switches
had the same issue when not operated.

It works fine on cw, which is what I normally use.

You might check the diodes on the VSWR circuit board.

I fired up my Corsair II to check into the Ten Tec nets today. It
receives fine, but when I tried to transmit on SSB, the ALC light lit
up solidly, and it took backing way down on the drive level to make it
stop. I haven't used it much this summer, but I had it on for about 5
hours before the net times. Luckily, I was able to check in on the 20
meter net with my Argo VI barefoot.
This is a new problem with the radio, so where might I start looking?
