Adrian, FB on the fix! The CORSAIR-II, with its PTO and AZNAC type receiver design, may be one of the finest, quietest analog receivers ever built, at least by Ten-Tec. For digging out weak signals j
My comment on the Corsair-II being quiet... I forgot that when I was using it for daily DXing I did have hearing loss in both ears for which I compensated by adding an outboard audio filter with a va
The ANZAC mixer is a commonly used where a double balanced mixer is required. The Corsair / Corsair-II receiver MAY have used a mixer similar in design to one of ANZAC's.... Google (ANZAC mixer)... 7
Mike, You are welcome. I regret that I cannot locate the document where I originally saw the reference to Corsair / Corsair-II having ANZAC receiver design and later commentary on later TEN-TEC recei
For those with hearing impairments, the joy of using amateur radio is diminished if you cant hear or understand the sounds coming from your radio. If you buy or have hearing aids with T-coils (teleph
I've kept the 715 to use with my OMNI-VII. I also have a FLEX-1500 as sub-receiver of the OMNI-VII using the N4PY modification and DXLab Commander to slave it. The FLEX-1500 has a panadapter mode wit

I agree, I run my OMNI-VII with minimum RF gain to produce audio out of the LINE OUT and with the AF gain set to ZERO. From the OMNI-VII LINE OUT, audio is run through an AOR TD-370 DSP audio filter
Rick is exactly right, its one thing to be working with two (A+B) frequencies, with four different sum and difference products in the lab , and entirely different for three (A+B+C) frequencies, with
Today was the day to take the CORSAIR-II out of service, open it up, replace the dimming, flickering S-meter lamp with a BA9S 12 Volt LED replacement. While I had it open, I also wiped the pins of th
Cecil, I have the same mod and also a FLEX-1500 in my OMNI-VII. A drop of 3 db in signal strength (assuming approximately the same impedance load each side of the split) in each receiver is to be exp

Mike, On a quiet band you can't ear ball the difference on receive or at least I couldn't when I had a Paragon for operating on MARS frequencies. On a number of occasions I ran both the Paragon and t

Last weekend during the contests I noticed the trim ring on the big knob of my OMNI-VII was loose. After removing the trim ring, I found a flat rubber band of smaller radii, put it on the big knob, r
Then there are those in every pile-up for a rare one who a trying to work a new one they can't hear. Maybe they have a friend who CAN hear them and the rare DX and who is doing the telephone relay; "
One has to believe in what he does in order to do well. (there is placebo effect and there is nocebo effect) If you believe in the red trim ring QSO improvement, it will work for you. Orange trim rin
Is it red or orange TT dots? The dots sure look orange on the 263G remote VFO, 961 PS, TITAN-425, and 253 tuner..... but I'm red-green color blind! Anyway the orange trim ring appears to (me) match t
