Allen, you do not have to use the internal keyer in the Corsair II. If you do, there is a jumper with two RCA phone plugs on it that goes from the keyer out connector to the key connector. I unplug t
As part of my collection, I have Drake 2B receiver and a Gonset GSB100 phasing exciter. One night I wound up in a round table with a bunch of HiFi SSB aficionados 0n 40 meters. These guys were runnin
I had a CE 100V that I bought from a local estate sale, but I never had the time to fix it. It got swapped for a hefty Tek dual beam oscilloscope to a member of the Boatanchors List. The Gonset excit
It doesn't work AM, but my Corsair II still has great performance. I have been having a great time working the ARRL Centennial stations with it. Aside from its still formidable performance, it is int
Me, I'm hoping for a Corsair III. 73, Steve WA9JML On 1/19/2014 10:11 PM, Gary Smith wrote: The Orion was a magnificent radio & it made it through two really nice versions but for whatever reasons, a
It also helps to notice that split is still invoked, when QSYing from the CW portion of the band to the phone portion of the band. Steve WA9JML 73, Charles K0cw Sent from my iPhone On Jan 20, 2014, a
They have fixed both of my Argonaut II radios several times. There are some parts no longer available for these,especially in the displays, so there are some problems that are not really able to be r
I am not sure what sorts of noise the Corsair II noise blanker is designed to work on. It does not seem to do much on any noise I encounter here. The noise blanker in my Omni V was also pretty much u
I am trying to install this update, and get nowhere. With the older firmware program, I can read the radio settings on com3. When I install the latest update software, and set it for com3, I get an e
Thanks for bringing these books to our attention, Jim. I just ordered the one for vertical antennas, and will get the book for the tribanders when I can finally move someplace where I can put one up.
I bought a nice Centaur amplifier from a list member a few years ago, and finally got around to putting it on the air. I took out the 572B tubes that were installed in the amp, and put the original 8
I just unplugged the amp, shorted the B+ and carefully reseated the tube. Now, it works again. Kris, the only time mine has blown fuses was when I inadvertently kept the bandswitch on 40 and tried to
Very true. I have mostly worked QRP over the years, and while it can be frustrating at times, getting a new one with 5 to 10 watts is quite a thrill. The last sunspot peak, I was writing my doctoral
From my experience the noise blanker in the Corsair II is pretty useless. It may have worked on the Russian Woodpecker back in the bad old days. The one in my Omni V.9 was not much better. The best n
I was trying to use the notch on my Corsair II during the Wisconsin QSO Party, and it has stopped working along with the audio filter for CW. Can anyone give me some pointers on what might be wrong o
I have not gone to a hamfest in years. I have never been to Dayton, but that is something to consider if I ever retire. And, I don't worry too much about magazine advertising. But, on a much happier
I ordered an Argonaut VI to try out with my Elecraft transverters, so it is good to know that the little radio is clean and should work well in this application. Right now, I am using the Argo II and
I am keeping my Argonaut II, but I ordered one of the Argo VIs the second day out. I should get mine sometime late in January. Looking forward to that! 73, Steve WA9JML I had one once, and like a dum
I'm just waiting patiently (HAH!!!) for the release of the Argo VI. If it works well enough, I will probably buy an Eagle to replace my Corsair II. 73, Steve WA9JML
