Is the PTO jumper in place on the back panel? Does it tune on a band
that is sure to have signals? If it tunes that jumper is in place, but
the counter isn't seeing signal. There are two jumpers needed, one for
RF and the other in the 9 pin molex connector for internal PTO power.
Reseating connectors works best with a tiny bit of DeoxIT on each pin,
just removing and reinstalling doesn't always break through oxidized
connector parts. And the insulation displacement ends of the connectors
can be more of a problem than the PC board side of the connector.

Greetings to the net:
I have a stock Corsair II that has been idle for about 4 months due to some
family health issues. I turned it on yesterday and found the display only
reads 9.0000 or 91.0000 no matter what band you select. I know that there
was a discussion about this some time ago but was unable to find the answer
in the archives. Can someone give me a hint?? I opened the top and removed
the filters and lossened up the screws on all of the boards that I could
reach from the top and re-tightened them. I removed all of the plugs on the
boards, one at a time, and re-seated them. All to no avail. Thanks to all in
advance for your patience and the bandwidth. Oh, I'm using the 961 power
supply.
Best regards,
