Quite some time ago I asked the board why the power output of My Corsair II may have gone away. Life has taken some turns, and I just do not have time to troubleshoot the old girl. It is listed with

Every rig I have owned for around the last 10 years has had this feature. NOT built in.... It's called the aforementioned Autek QF-1A. If you have not tried one, you should. READ the Autek manual, a
Richard- In my opinion, the Ten Tec L-network tuners do an excellent job. The only weakness, in my experience, seems to be the disc capacitors that are switched in. They have been known to "explode"
Personally, I would pull it down, CLEAN, and lubricate the PTO, and reassemble, and enjoy. I did it last time to a nasty "swap queen", and it worked a treat, no kit from the Mother Ship needed. Ed,
Yes, it certainly DOES matter more on CW than on SSB. I cannot recall which presentation it is in, but Rob Sherwood as much as says the top 20 rigs on the chart are ALL top notch on SSB, and you wo
I agree, Rodney.... the aforementioned top 20 ARE good radios. GO ON 75/80 AT 8PM AND I TELL YOU THAT WITH 2KC SPACING YOU NEED A GOOD RADIO The close-in dynamic range is measured with 2kHz separati
Just an additional note for those running an Argosy Digital.... I seem to remember if you turn the rig off and then on QUICKLY, the display lights stay off. Rig operates fine. Need them back on? Tur
Good on ya, Mike! I was somehow confusing my old Argosy with the Scout. Try it on the Scout- it might work, since it lacks the aforementioned switch! Thanks for catching my failing memory (AKA blonde
Far as I'm concerned, when it comes to Mother Nature, all bets are off. We had a nearby strike a few years back. Lost most appliances (was before I was a Ham). , and power company had to come out and
I have decided to part with my "Loaded" Omni VI+. Details are on QTH classifieds. Price is $1300 Shipped. If you have been looking for a NICE one, this is it. If ad on QTH is up, I still have it. Pl
Has anyone used one of the high-energy, multi-farad capacitors (used by the car-audio crowd), near the amplifier to support amperage peaks, and avoid voltage drop? Just curious, mostly. 73- Greg, KC8
Well, I have it completed. The N4YG DDS VFO replacement "kit" now resides in my Corsair II. I had a few "bumps" along the road, but Joe was ever the gentleman, and walked me through them, and I love
PaulCould a fellow mount SMALL fans off each end of the heat sink in a "push-pull" orientation, and thus not increase the front-to-rear dimension? Just a thought. 73- Greg, KC8HXO
Richards, I echo your comments. I use the built in DSP of my Omni VI+, with it's full load of I.F. filters (including the roofing filter from Inrad), as well as it's PBT, and manual notch, constantly
Suddenly, with no other changes to the station, the ALC light stopped blinking.....and I have no output power, but Amperage draw in "lock" mode is considerable (15-20A depending on ALC level setting)
Jerry- as to "most easily accomplished" for checking a speedometer, I gotta believe a GPS is more accurate, and a HECK of a lot easier, isn't it??....... and, MikeI have a solution to your frets abou
