[TenTec] Corsair sidetone?

[Steve N4LQ]

Perry:
You must have a special Corsair 2. I thought they all had buzzsawtooth 
sidetones. The original Corsair was easy to modify. They "Spot tone" was a 
true sine wave. All you do is exchange it for the sidetone. This proves that 
even in the TT stone age, they knew how to make a sine wave generator but 
for some reason felt that cw ops should be enjoying a buzzer for sidetone. 
One fellow explained to me that TT believed the buzz was a better monitor 
because of the "fast rise time" of a sawtooth vs. sine wave. Weird! 73
