Could be the transmit BFO has drifted to the slope of the transmit filter. Could be there's a board ground loose. Before I got into deep trouble shooting, I'd tighten all the PC board mounting screws

Omni directional mics are far less expensive to build and work adequately. And probably less sensitive to changing frequency response from the mouth to microphone spacing changing. -- 73, Jerry, K0CQ

A true unidirectional microphone takes a lot of acoustics to get a decent front to back and front to side that involves getting acoustic pressure to the back of the diaphragm to counteract that which

You should be able to run the TNC (though with manual TNC commands) from any terminal program that will talk through a serial port. There has been one supplied with windoze, I forget what its called

The added switch is a bonus, cost extra when the breakers were ordered new. Mine came in an Airpax box, since the size of my order just happened to match the number that Airpax put in one box. There

The optional filters also fit the 857 and are Collins mechanical filters, not crystal filters. For certain the CW filter is more effective at lifting a weak signal out of the noise than the DSP filte

True its not your transmitting frequency. But not all "modern" rigs display the tone frequency if you matched tone. One would not want to depend on the sidetone of the Corsair as being representative
