[TenTec] Coorsair II "Quirk"

[Jim Reid]

Hi,

Listened to several SSB signals today;  15 M seems best of the
upper bands mid-day.  Worked JA1CG with very strong signals.

Then went to 17 M to check prop there.  Discovered that to
demodulate SSB signals,  I had to switch to SSB-R!  Would
not become readable as on 20 and 15 with the mode switch
at SSB-N (normal).  Per the Corsair II,  Mod. 561 manual,
the SSB-N should be correct for 17 M,  as the rig evidently
is supposed to know that above 14M,  all the SSB signals
are on USB.

Is my Corsair different,  somehow?  Why does it need to be set
for SSB-R for 17,  and SSB-N for the other bands above 20?
Evidently this rig believes that on 17M,  LSB is the correct mode,
at least that is what works.

73,  Jim,  KH7M
