I know this has been discussed at some length--and by the looks of my corsair 
II several mods have been made--including a 16v 1000uF electrolytic capacitor 
across one of the connector pins. 

I can actually live with the popping to some extent but what I find annoying is 
the S-meter that seems very non-responsive...it seems to just rise up to a 
certain level and then just fall off as opposed to undulating with the 
signal...perhaps a minor point, but I work a lot of low signal  level cw and 
enjoy experimenting with antennas...often the change in S-meter is the only 
indication to determine what is working better. I also like to watch the 
S-meter move about with the signal strength. Is the cap not discharging fast 
enough?

If anyone has some thoughts on or off list I would welcome same.

kind regards,

scott va3ied
