[TenTec] Corsair 11 Mega Drift FIXED! Bill Marvin KB9IV

[Wm Marvin]

Hello To All,

Very happy to share with the group that the 3 Khz PTO drift has been fixed. Many Thanks
to the many that supplied me with ammo to tackle this problem.
Observing that a light tap on the top cover caused the PTO frequency to jump as much
as 3 Khz led me to believe a poor connection in the PTO. It was correct!! Luckly the
PTO board has the PTO component leads and traces facing outward. I found 3 Yes  3 bad
solder joints on the PTO board. I also loosend the two ground screws to the board and
re-tightend them three times since they were available.
Now the drift is less than approx 60 Hz during warm up.....Great!! What a spendid CW
radio at a bargain price. Now I have to get the radio adjusted 100HZ to match the real
frequency.
What a great group of Tec'eees!
