My Corsair I didn't have that problem in full or semi-QSK.

Does going to the "slow qsk" mode help? I think you are experiencing
the typical audio derived agc syndrome. When coming off mute, the rx
gain is at max since the agc hasn't had time to react to the
ever-present strong signal you referred to. By the time the agc can
react, the burst of signal has made it to the af amp and produces the
big thump. Under those conditions you options are to use slow qsk or
decrease the RF gain accordingly. This behavior is typical of most
older TenTec rigs prior to the Paragon.

Subject: [TenTec] Corsair II ALC issue
Hello,
This weekends CW test proved a great workout for the Corsair II I
recently purchased.
One of the issues I noted, was a thump when the rig was transitioning
from CW transmit
to receive, in the presence of strong signals. This happened with
both ALC settings and
both SSB and CW filter employed.
It sounds like the ALC is too slow to handle the transition from mute
to receive.
Is there a mod/workaround for this, or is this situation unique to my
rig?
The only other rig I've heard that has this issue, is the Elecraft
K1, which does
exactly the same thing, in the same circumstances. (Surprisingly, the K2
does not...I used it on CQWWDX and it performed like a champ, w/100
watts).
Thanks for your insight
John K5MO
