Golly... now I am rather new at this, but I thought it varies depending
on band conditions, and possibly other considerations inside the rig, in
that it could
vary from frequency to frequency. I suppose there is some point where it
cuts out all together, but I have never felt it was the same place on
the dial for every band or for all frequencies.
Are you looking for a calibration point? or something like that. Are
you looking for an electrical point where turning the RFGain down
further cuts out ALL signal, noise, and EVERYTHING? Are looking for an
absolute threshold?
I do a little different from Gary, although the same procedure overall.
I turn AF gain to 50-60, and then back RF-Gain all the way down until
two things happen, namely where the signal and noise both seem to fade
or cut out, and also when the S-meter turns from dropping to rising.
If you need a manual, I think I have it, or it may be on the TT web
page, but it sounds like you are looking for something that may not show
up in the schematics or the usual user guide.
Sorry if I am off base or helping in the wrong direction.

If I'm understanding your question;
I found the BEST (for me) was to first set the RF Gain fully counter-clock
wise (minimum setting), then set the AF Gain to full clock-wise (or nearly
so) then increase Clock-wise the RF Gain to set the audio level.

Subject: [TenTec] Corsair II RF Gain
Is there anyone out there who has a Corsair II that can give me some
information. I am looking for the setting on the RF Gain control when the
signal disappears. If you are looking at the control from the front, what
is the setting on the scale does the signal disappears? The control is wide
open at the 10 position and then you rotate counter-clockwise to reduce the
gain. Appreciate some feedback.
