I also have a Corsair II and I looked at the HW-101 mod, I decided not to mod
my HW-101 as it's like putting a hybred power plant in a 53 Chevy, may work
better but loses it appeal. The other problem was making the structure for the
tube follower.
It would be very interesting if the DDS could be a plug in. I also have a
remote VFO and that may be the place to install the DDS so as not to make major
changes to the radio.
