1. [TenTec] Corsair II buzz (score: 1)

I've got a Corsair II I'm planning on recapping with Ultra Low ESR electrolytics. There's a high pitched buzz I can hear which is distracting somewhat but is mostly absent when the narrow filters are

Gary ?I found my corsair II to pick up a hum/buzz if the supply is close to the rig ,moved it 3 feet away and all seems ok now. That was a 961? tt supply. Maybe comming from a source in your house? g

First, I'd say the Ultra Low ESR caps are likely overkill. As to the buzz, does it exist with the volume control all the way down? If so it is likely power supply induced otherwise, likely from the I

I had that problem when the psu was on the right of the rig. Moving it to the left cured it. -- Cheers and 73, Stan Barr G0CLV G-QRP 3369 g0clv@dsl.pipex.com "Never leave well enough alone." - Raymon

That's one reason I've changed to switching power supplies for all of the needs of my stations. No transformer hum, much higher efficiency. And the ones I've chosen do not produce objectionable RF pr

As a buzz, its not a sinewave but something sawtooth or square with lots of harmonics? The only part of the radio that does that is the display board (and keyer). And that board is known to fail to w

Thanks for the replies. I have a slew of new ultra low ESR electrolytics and I feel more than safe in exchanging the old ones with this newer technology and the quality of these are mighty close to S

The most common source of "buzz" consists of "triplen" harmonics of the AC power line, coupled from the 3-phase power line that is probably providing your residential service. See my recommendations

Yes, the magnetic field from the power supply will frequency modulate the PTO coil, making received and transmitted signals sound bad. This happened to me when I stacked the Corsair on top of the ext

Actually and most likely there are three phases in the neighborhood. Each transformer has a single line connected to one phase to provide step-down to 240 volts center tapped. The next group of homes

What you have described could very well be high leg Delta -- you just don't have the 3rd phase brought down your road. because no one needs it. 73, Jim Brown K9YC ____________________________________

Yes. But -- the bonding shorts out the buzz, so the shorter the conductors and the larger they are,the less buzz is left. The second component of my advice is to get all power for the station from ou
