As an owner of a great Triton IV, I just purchased a Corsair (not II), and have a couple of questions: The manager of my local HRO that was once a retail outlet for TenTec, said that according to Ten
Thanks Barry. I had already had and enjoyed an OMNI V, but when I picked up the TRITON IV and put it into service, I was blown away by how quiet the receiver is. And, it's NB is far more effective th
Barry, Thanks. I just got word that my Corsair has shipped, and I'm sure anxious to check out it's performance. The TRITON may become my wee-hour, weak signal DX'er, and the Corsair my week-end, heav
Hello Richard, Yeah, I'm really enjoying the TRITON IV on 40m late-nite DX'ing. I also have a Cubic 103 (with PTO tuner), that's also a very simple to operate rig with very low noise level. But the T
I received my newly acquired Corsair (not II), s/n 718, and have a couple of questions: At cold start-up in the morning, it takes about a minute for the displayed frequency to stabilize and display t
Well, at least I know now the issues aren't unique to my Corsair. I can live with the display one minute warm-up, but the ineffective NB prevents useability all too often. My noise level is frequentl
Bob, Yeah, the random number generator on the display is the display itself. The frequency itself is rock-solid, and after one minute, the display homes in on the actual frequency. Having struggled w
Yes, there's lots of room inside the TRITON. I really take advantage of the PBT and notch on the Corsair with heavy QRM...if my damnable noise isn't present, which is why I was focusing on improving
Wade, Yeah.......been there, done that. After a couple of months of no help from the power company, I bought an 18" ultrasonic parabolic dish and detector 3 months ago to pursue this problem, thinkin
Gary, Wow! Do you have a Corsair or a Corsair II? If it's a Corsair, what is it's s/n? I was told by a former TenTec retailer that the early Corsairs had useless noise blankers. Mine is s/n 718. Do y
Thanks for the tips. I didn't know the ARRL would help with non-ham generated EMI. Thought they would only assist in resolving issues of complaints of ham-generated EMI. -- Original Message -- From:
Gary, A quick viewing of your QRZ page indicates that unless you've downgraded, you have a Corsair II. Checking the manual schematics for both the Corsair and the Corsair II, I find the noise blanker
My recently acquired Corsair II has a failed logic board UV eprom (MC68705P3S) that prevents me from operating CW. The eprom failure is the keyer "dit" input stuck close enough to a "low", that about
Oh, man! Clayton, you're my hero. The prom is a 28-pin, and is UV programmable, rather that EE programmable. I believe the programming of my prom is good. It's just an input gate that's stuck low. If
Hi Jerry, That's what I get for attempting to economize text. According to Motorola, either your terminology or mine is correct. Motorola says: "The MC68705P3 (High-Density NMOS) Microcomputer Unit (
Does anyone have a G3TXQ drop-in logic board kit that's surplus to their needs? If so, I could sure use one. Please contact me off-list. TNX es 73, Allen--W7GIF -- Original Message -- From: A R<mailt
Thanks, Steve. Let's see what sort of interest develops. I'm certain that your one-off cost comment is spot on. best 73, Allen--W7GIF -- Original Message -- From: Steve Hunt<mailto:steve@karinya.net>

Geoff, Of course you're right, the UV is used only to erase the resident/existing program on a UV PROM. I knew that, and what I intended to convey to Clayton was that the PROM portion of the MC68705P
Hi Spencer, Thanks for the response. Yes, I inspected the soldering and even the foil runs, since Garry at TT told me they had problems with the TT-produced pwb's. The board and soldering are all goo
