Thank you for all the very helpful comments on the Corsair. After reading
the mail, and then re-looking at the adds, it seems to me that the Corsair II,
might be the OMNI V with out a digital button panel to access features,
and frequency. I under stand that other things would be different, like a
PTO as comparied to a microprocessor, and dual VFO's. But, basicly the
Corsair is the same receiver as the OMNI V. A good radio without the
bells and whistles of the digital world. Is my thinking right? Because if it
is, that is what I want, an exclent receiver, like in the OMNI series,
without a microprocessor.
I am not a contester, but I do enjoy very carfully, tuning and listening for
CW that some would not try to work. I have worked some good CW DX
that was just a noisy hiss in the headphones. When I went to a newer
microprocessor rig, it seemed to me, I could no longer find thoes signals.
Thay may not have been good signals, but I always beat a pile-up when I
found them.
Jim, WA7NDD
