Jim: As you have it identified, the vertical filter is the stock 9mhz I.F. 2.4khz
The other 4 filters are in the 6.3mhz second I.F.
Pos #1 was 2.4khz
Pos #2 is for 1.8khz
Pos #3 is for 500hz
Pos #4 is for 250hz


Three position xtal filter switch on front panel:
If you are in SSB mode,
#3=2.4khz filter
#2=1.8khz
#1=500hz

If you are in CW mode,
#3=1.8khz
#2=500hz
#1=250hz

Good luck with the rig, its a nice one.

I just acquired a Corsair II but have no manual yet (and they are expensive). My question:

The radio appears to have four filter slots on the horizontal board and there is one in a vertical position above it.

The horizontal filters are (viewing over the front panel) left to right,

On left,
Position 1, unidentifiable 8 Pole filter
Position 2 - empty - As there are 3 filter positions on the front panel, is this one of the three?
Position 3 - 285 - 500 Hz 6 Pole Ladder Filter, 6.3 MHz I-F
Position 3 - 282 - 250 Hz 6 Pole Ladder Filter, 6.3 MHz I-F


The vertical filter is a 220 - 2.4 kHz 8 Pole Ladder Filter, 9 MHz

I may or may not keep the radio and may sell the filters separately if the buyer of the Corsair II does not wish to buy them.

Which filters must stay with the radio? I would say for sure the 285 and 282 can go. The 220 filter, I am not sure. Is it needed for SSB or just the unidentified filter? The unidentifiable filter, I am not sure. My goal is to identify what filters make up a stock radio.

Can someone shed some light on these last two filters for me?

Thank you.

73, Jim
