[TenTec] Corsair II ALC issue

[john.brewer at us.schneider-electric.com]

Hello,

This weekends CW test proved a great workout for the Corsair II I recently purchased.

One of the issues I noted, was a thump when the rig was transitioning from CW transmit
to receive, in the presence of strong signals. This happened with both ALC settings and
both SSB and CW filter employed.

It sounds like the ALC is too slow to handle the transition from mute to receive.

Is there a mod/workaround for this, or is this situation unique to my rig?

The only other rig I've heard that has this issue, is the Elecraft K1, which does
exactly the same thing, in the same circumstances. (Surprisingly, the K2
does not...I used it on CQWWDX and it performed like a champ, w/100 watts).


Thanks for your insight
