After playing with my recently acquired Corsair a bit, thought I'd share a couple of comments and ask a question. The Corsair receiver seems to have an uncanny ability at pulling the weak cw sigs out

1. I've found the older TenTec rigs i.e. Triton, Omni-C etc. to be less affected by QRN on 160m than the Corsair and newer rigs probably because they are single conversion receivers, having less nois

<< 2. AGC on all older TT rigs takes some getting used to. Prior to the Omni V and Paragon, they used audio derived AGC which could not respond to sudden impulses. Wearing headphones could result in

Yes, the Corsair AGC is an audio derived "hang" AGC. It works fine but being audio derived and after the nothc filter, the attack time slow. The cure is to put on the attenuator and/or back off on th

Sure, reducing gain does the trick but it defeats the whole purpose of agc and it's those strong signals that sneak up on you that really do a number on your ears. I've tried all manners of audio lim

You mean people don't back off on the RF gain as a matter of course? I've been doing it for years and years. It's the only way to fly. Heck, I just did the NAQP CW contest the other day and looking

Amazing. I NEVER back off the RF gain. I think I am a holdover from the old days of my National NC-98 where to use the BFO meant I had to ride the gain all the time and it was a chore. I was so thril

Thanks for the tip Clark. Bill Carver's AGC article originally appeared in May 1996 QST with a follow up in Dec '96. I would greatly appreciate hearing from anyone with more info on the application o

Barry, I have heard that the later CORSAIR II had a much improved AGC. Do you know if this is fact or fiction? ( Maybe an Urban legend ? ) Jerry K8JRO -- FAQ on WWW: http://www.contesting.com/FAQ/ten

Doing that is like shifting gears when you have an automatic transmission. You shouldn't have to ride the RF gain if the agc is working properly. Most JA rigs have so much internal noise that it some
