Has anyone experienced internal keyer "lockup" on a Corsair II? More
important, does anyone have a solution?
The keyer in the Corsair II I'm using acts up intermittently and
appears to be triggered by transmitting. Power level doesn't seem to
matter much -- drive all the way up or down. The dot side still works
but dash ceases. The only solution I've found is to power cycle the
rig.
The antenna is a dipole cut for lower 40 meters, and that's where I'm
transmitting. Rig is connected to 962 power supply via a thick
braided cable, and supply is connected to cold water pipe in basement
(where water supply enters house) via similar cable.
Strange part is that I've experienced this on at least one other (and
maybe two) Corsair II many years ago.
Is this a common problem, and is there an easy solution other than
using an outboard keyer? (don't have one yet so haven't tried)
Thanks,
--Andrew
