I have read with great interest some of the postings on the corsair-- ranging from new audio chips to bypassing the 6 MHz IF in order to remove some internal noise. I am curios if anyone on the list

Yes...the tentec wiki is great...still trying to decipher the bit about bypassing the 6 MHz iF as mentioned by w0cca (?)... Got wrap my brain around that as the nb on mine contains no filter per se..
