I designed my board and firmware to be a simple "drop in" replacement for the Corsair II mpu board. It interfaces to a display driver board which is unique to the Corsair II. So no - it can't be used with any other TT radio.

Of course you can apply the same technique to other TT radios, but it would need a major re-write of the firmware and possibly some hardware changes.

Somehow I had the evidently wrong impression that the earlier displays like for 
the Omni C used TTL chips still readily available.  Upon review of the 
schematic for my 544, the MK50398N chip is mentioned.  I haven't looked at the 
Omni D-B yet. Is the replacement discussed for the Corsair II also a potential 
replacement for earlier Ten Tec digital displays?
