[TenTec] Corsair 11

[Malcolm McLeman]

Hi Y'all,

Just been accepted to the Tentec club. Name is Malcolm call is F5VBU also GM3UIN. Many moons ago after the failure of my trusty and much modified FT101B decided to take a chance, bought a Corsair One from a friend in a non transmittable mode. Replaced the driver transistors and she gave me wonderful service,  even now is still a good ham bands receiver.. Dynamic range second to none...
2. Decided to go for a Corsair 2 also bought from a friend, very pleased with the purchase because in the interim I was using a JRC JST 135 which I had consistent bad keying reports on CW... The Corsair 2 is working fine with two exceptions... a) on receive it does not got through the pass band of the signal as I would analogically like eg with a bit of a warble (after all it is not DDS)  b) the 28 mhz dial readout gives a 1 instead of a 2 in the tens of megahertz but transmits and receives as per normal. Tentec service maintain it is a rf osc/mixer fault but using the JST135 to monitor on transmit is solid as a rock..
3. Grateful any comments
