Re: [TenTec] Corsair II VFO level?

[Steve Hunt <steve@karinya.net>]

Barry,

You'd be amazed how much nicer the Corsair feels with the original 
tuning knob driving an encoder rather than the PTO. I even epoxied some 
steel nuts to the inside of the knob to give it extra weight! I really 
can "spin the dial" now.
I find the "split" function really intuitive, the way Joe has arranged 
the software. The only thing it doesn't offer which I have on the 
external VFO is the "dual listen" function.
73,
