Thanks everyone for pointing out my "duh" about the
VFO jumper-
I'd be embarassed if I weren't so busy being
delighted it's this simple.
I ever owned a VFO until a couple of years ago when I
picked up a spotless one from Ten-Tec's Used demo
list- and sure enough, last time I had the Corsair
out, I'd hooked up the external VFO- and forgot to
put the jumper back afterwards.
Thanks again

("I") digital readout error
this may sound simple, but there's a jumper in the
back that goes 'vfo in---vfo out'
make sure the jumper is in place and seated tightly
without it, the counter won't display correctly
(radio won't work either!)
