[TenTec] playing with the Corsair II

[tlogan7 at cox.net]

Hi all -   
  While searching for an Omni VI+ or option 3, I must confess I cannot help playing with the Corsair II. The little critter has no frills but sure a lot of character. Hard not to tinker, study the boards, etc. Geez those people made rigs easy to check out didn't they? 
  Anyway,I remember in the Omni V it was not uncommon for people to put a pair of 2.8 Inrads in to widen up the SSB - depending on the ops taste. 
  I'm not a 100% clear on the corsair II filtering scheme as to whether this would create a problem in the Corsair II - to swap a 2.8 for a 2.4 or if it would affect my primary mode of cw negatively. I get the impression from Ten Tec that it is not a good idea, but am not clear of the reasoning. Any help out there on this one? 
  Also, did I read somewhere that the Corsairs were prone to throwing off a little RF in the shack or am I way off track - wrong pew, wrong church?

Thanks folks.
