Dale,
I am no expert on the Corsair, but the readout looks very similar to mine in an
Omni D. I have had mine out on the table two times, working on PTO issues..
It's on top of the PTO and must come out. I did not find it to be fragile,
beyond normal handling care. YMMV, but in my shop it'd not be a problem to
look around in there at least. If it will run with the case off, I think I'd
leave it that way and probe around a bit with a small wood dowel when the
malady occurs. I'd also mess with the VFO plug while the unit is live and
exhibiting issues...

Subject: [TenTec] digital readout corsair 2
My digital read out has started to do several things. It intermittently freezes
on one frequency and won?t respond to the PTO or the band switch. I turn the
radio off and then back on and the display is completely dark except for the
decimal. I let it sit for a day, then it came back on after it warmed up for a
few seconds and worked fine for 3 more days, now it?s done the same thing again.
The manual says that I can damage the digital display with static
electricity, so is it safe to take the case apart to look for dirty
connections? Where should I look for the problems? I have checked the VFO plug
in the back and it looks ok.
Thank you so much! Dale, KB0SYH
