[TenTec] Corsair II jumper wire ....

[KF6ZZ@aol.com]

Gentlemen :

  In the stock Corsair II, position 3 on the Xtal switch selects the standard 
2.4 khz filter...

  On filter board 80979 there is a small jumper wire that keeps the 2.4 khz 
filter in-line when the front panel Xtal switch is moved to position 2.

  I can see no useful purpose for this jumper. All it does is to keep the 2.4 
filter selected when the Xtal switch is moved from 3 to 2.

Why ?

What is gained by having the 2.4 filter also enabled in position 2 ?  

The CII manual instructs the user to cut the jumper when a 1.8 khz filter is 
installed.

Does anybody know why TT did this ?

Seems to be totally redundant.

Please advise.
