If you are going to keep the rig send it to Ten Tec. They will check it out for you and fix it back to factory specs. This should be done anyway unless you have a lot of test equipment and have the a
Call TT in the morning and they will send you a new crystal it will probably be no charge. You might even want to send in the whole thing for an exchange. It is degraded and you will notice a differe
Mike, it is a good thing you asked about the battery. I have a Turner M+2/U that I bought new many years ago. I buy the battery for it at a local CB shop here in Tampa, FL. The name of the place is J

I have a Ten Tec Corsair II and an OMNI V. They do all I need and more. Both rigs have all the filters. DSP units are on both made by Timewave. The Jupiter and Orion are great rigs if you like to loa
Have a Corsair II that seems to be developing a problem, I think. Seems that if rig is turned off for a day or so I get very low s-meter readings and low signal levels. If I switch the mode switch fr
Kip, about five years ago I bought a Corsair II. It was my second back up rig. I paid $475.00 with one SSB filter included. They hold value very well and I would think $450.00 should get you a good o
Larry, I think it is time to trade that rig in at TenTec. The way it is acting I would not even try to sell it at a Hamfest. You will never be rid of the buyer. It is a good time to trade up to one o
Had the same problem with my Astron. But, get this. It went into hum when and only when my wife turned on her handheld hair dryer in the master bathroom on the other side of the house. I never could
Buy a Ten Tec supply or go with an Astron and an Airpax breaker in the positive line to the rig. Junk the one you have. It could fry the finals on that fine Paragon if you try to tune up with it. I w

I am not sure but I think all Ten Tec supplies have the breaker. Could someone else on the list check this out for Rich. I do not want to give out information I am not sure of. Dan/N4VET
