Gerd: I found this in the archives. It may or may not help. 73 *2/14/99* Several weeks ago, someone on the list indicated that they could not rid their Omni Six of audible "clicks" while listening wi
I just worked over an Omni VI ver 1 and fast QSK was very smooth. I hate clicks too! There's lots of little transients floating around the chassis when you key the rig. I've used the scope to help tr
It would indeed be unique and fill a niche in the market. No DSP. The PTO could become DDS with a serial port. No PLL. My Corsair II's are quieter than anything made today. Steve N4LQ _______________
I had a loaded K3s then bought an IC-7300 and the noise level was slightly lower to the point that the K3s started gathering dust. Recently I picked up a couple of Corsair II's having forgotten what
I wish I had not said that about the NR. It just caused confusion. The Corsair II has no noise to reduce :*) The RFG and ATTN are actually the same thing on the 7300 and of course you can decrease th
Hi Barry. I used to think the Corsair II was noisier but I have a nice Omni C and the Corsair 2 is much quieter. Maybe I had a dud? I have 3 of these C2's now! TenTec finally fixed the popping AGC in
The "noise" situation is largely how it is perceived. S meters read the same on both the Corsair II and the IC-7300 but the "color" of the noise is vastly different. The 7300's noise is harsher and a
The camera/microphone was in front of my face. My ears are attached to the side of my head. As my head turns, my ears follow. Same for the camera/mic. What you hear in that video is exactly what I he
Barry. I just had a bout with one of my Corsair II's ALC LEDs. On the top of the rig you'll find the Low Level Driver board toward the left rear. There's a thumbwheel pot R15 that adjust the LED's fi
Barry You can erase my comment about the Corsair 2's noise. The Corsair 1 was the noisy one. As for the AGC. This was not a mod. TenTec totally redesigned the AGC between the Corsair I and II. The 1'
I tried an Eagle at the factory and didn't like it. Too small, noisy TR QSK relay, menus etc. For some reason everyone including TT stopped using those quiet little reed relays and now use those nois
Since I've been using the Corsair II instead of my modern PC attached rig I simply enter a frequency in Logger32 (my logging program)....Just any frequency in the CW spectrum. It automatically select
Corsair II and older TTs. The band information (+13.8v) is easily available from the bandswitch with just the addition of a few diodes on SW4 or SW5. The frequency information is available via the VF
This hiss referenced.....Is that the hiss which varies pitch when adjusting the "notch" control? I assumed that is created by the notch filter. _______________________________________________ TenTec
This is a great approach. Imagine a black box, programmable to supply VFO RF to drive any desired retro transceiver plus a USB interface and software capable of emulating a popular rig recognized by
For sure this would be a great product. It would also need inputs for the T-R voltage and a couple of offset voltages as are used to correct the readout in the Corsair. I've had Corairs readout failu
I have heard it said that the crystal ladder filters used in TenTec rigs is what gives them their unique sound for cw that pleases so many of us. Something sure does! Steve N4LQ _____________________
We know that crystal filters do affect the shape of an RF envelope. Question: Don't the JA rigs use lattice instead of latter crystal filters? Anybody know? I always assumed that was part of the diff
Barry. I think they're rare. Here's a video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bEX5eEMPYfU I like what they said about QSK...60wpm with no clicks and ability to hear between dits! It's a rather intense
Now we know why a Corsair II - B would cost too much! _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list TenTec@contesting.com http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/tentec
