Folks, forgive the hijacked thread from many years ago...based on the following below, was there ever a mod for the folks like me who had the very early 1496 dual chip version of the RF Mixer board?

Hello folks, I am given to understand the boards for the Corsair have all been sold but some of you purchased extras. If there is someone who would not mind selling one I would be most appreciative.
I just recently picked up a lovely Corsair II (to add to the TT madness) and the DDS kit from N4YG,,,the difference, by the way, is amazing and makes the rig an even greater pleasure to use than befo
well its all fixed up--as I told Joe, time to start wearing glasses--just some crossed wires. Tx and rx are A-1 and again, the DDS kit gives this old rig new life...now for the AGC... thanks and 73 t
I know this has been discussed at some length--and by the looks of my corsair II several mods have been made--including a 16v 1000uF electrolytic capacitor across one of the connector pins. I can act
...thanks Steve, I will look at r46 and see what that can do for AGC...to be honest I can live with the strong stations, its the popping I get in the speaker while sending cw that has me going at pre
Hi Steve the popping sound is most noticeable when sending CW...for example, it I were sending at 15 wpm and sending dit dah dit dah....the beginning of the dah would cause that popping (its always t
Thanks Joe--have tried that to minimize it as well. Perhaps when your DDS sidetone arrives it may improve things (?)...I may adjust teh tone for now so that it is not as bass heavy--that may help as
Folks, 2nd time around with this msg...I realize I am the proverbial day late and dollar short for the above noted board, but am wondering if there are any extras out there you may be willing to part

I have recently recieved my new to me Argosy. In one of the many mods I note it suggests replacing a 33uF elec cap with a 22uF Tantalum cap. This is to help reduce the AGC pumping action. For fun I r

Hello all I am in the midst of tuning up an older argosy I recently acquired. While I have a bit left to do, most of it is done and it is working. I am curious if anyone has any insight into a few is

Thanks Mike...I will try that POT...and your idea re: cut off on the filter is along the same lines as to what I was thinking...especially since the ssb power output (heard) is lower as well...a frie

Hello, I took the plunge and installed the inrad 2.8 filters. After some playing around I think I set the null correctly (or as best I could using an additional receiver at home).I went on the air an

Actually, the Omni V Manual indicates a 100 ohm and a 10 k ohm value. When I went to replace I found the 100 and a 1 k ohm (not 10k as per schematic)... As to audio, I am not too bent out of shape...

Lately my omni V has been acting up. When I first power up there is little or no receive--if there is, its often some odd ball shortwave freq. Then, as it warms up, it tunes to the correct freq as di
