341. Re: [TenTec] FW: Corsair vs Corsair II (score: 1)

The CorsairII has what appears to be a Bridge-Tee diplexer between the mixer and the Norton amplifier - R23, R24, L5, L6, C15, C16. However, the values of L5 and C16 look very odd. I don't know the v

That should have been: "....... you'd expect around 5.6uH to resonate with C15 at 9MHz" Steve G3TXQ I don't know the value of L6 (part# 21056), but you'd expect around 6.6uH to resonate with C15 at 9

Jerry, It's yet another error on the schematic! I lifted L5 this morning and measured it: 330nH, not 3.3mH; it resonates with C16 (1000pF) close to 9MHz. L9 and L10 on that same schematic are similar

Jerry, Both the L and the C in the diplexer parallel arm are fixed value; so low Q sounds good, given the tolerance issue :) However the L in the series arm of the diplexer is adjustable, and the boo

Simulating the TT diplexer I see just a couple of S11 excursions worse than -18dB (SWR=1.3:1), at 10MHz and 8MHz. Steve G3TXQ Both the L and the C in the diplexer parallel arm are fixed value; so low

Barry, I can't say for certain - I didn't lift them to measure! They are the same style of component as L5, and clearly the values can't be 8.2mH as shown. It seems likely the same sort of error has

A few calculations suggest that L9 and L10 *must* be 8.8uH, but I'll take a look and check the board. I agree that L11 and L12 must also be wrong - they obviously form some tuning/matching function.

I took another look at the CorsairII RF Mixer board (80987) inductors this morning: L1, L2, L3, L4, L7, L8: Green, radial body, marked 101. Measured as 100uH L5: Axial body marked Orange-Orange-Silve

One of the problems is that TT are not consistent in the way they label components. For example, on the 80987 board schematic all the RF blocking chokes are labelled 100mH; on all the other schematic

Forgot to say: be sure to disconnect the radio from the PSU when doing the mod - you're very close to those mains terminals on the AF Gain/On-Off control. 73, Steve G3TXQ ____________________________

That's correct - you need to choose your favourite sidetone frequency and pick the L&C appropriately. I don't see it as much of a limitation - I don't think I've altered my sidetone pitch in the 20+

I measured 12v p/p at the output of the low level amp on the Corsair II on 40m for 100W out of the radio. Into a 50 Ohm load that would equate to 360mW. Steve G3TXQ __________________________________

That's correct - it's charge acceleration and deceleration which causes radiation. If you take a long wire and terminate it in its characteristic impedance it will radiate - there doesn't need to be
