[TenTec] Corsair (1) question

[Paul - W8KC]

Alan,

Are you sure that you are actually losing the "weak" CW signal, and not just
filtering them out of the passband?  Once you "lose" a signal, use the RIT
in the fine tuning mode to try and retune the person.

With a carefully aligned Corsair, you can use the zero beat button, tune in
a station, and flip to the sharpest filter without losing a thing.  From
what I'm reading, you don't even have the 250Hz CW filter.

The Notch Filter is great for ANY mode where you need to remove an offensive
nearby carrier.

Subject: [TenTec] Corsair (1) question

When switching in the crystal filters I find if I have several stations and

try to filter so I can read the weaker of the two stations (CW) the weaker
one 
 will disappear. I have the various TT filters (2.4,1.8,500 8 pole filters).

I  was curious if this is just characteristic of the TT filters? For
stronger  
stations the filters work fine. I have tried using the bandpass filter with
a 
 little more success. Does someone have some hints/tips for effective use of

the  various TT Corsair filtering methods? Can I assume the notch is more
for 
SSB?
