[TenTec] Corsair Sidetone

[Tommy]

Malcolm,

For frequency stabilization of the Corsair 2 (and other TT PTO rigs) look at
this web site. http://home.comcast.net/~k4dpk/

A friend of mine, Lyle/W9FCX has recently installed this VFO Stabilization
kit into his Corsair 2. In our regular meetings on 7.024, now when he puts
his Corsair 2 on frequency, it no longer drifts. And this is from basically
a cold-start. It seems to be working very good for him. He also says it does
not take very long to install in the rig.

Thank God someone agrees with me Corsair sidetone and sidetone volume being
as useful as the two spots on a male's chest!
What a wonderful idea to use the Corsair1 spot oscillator as a sidetone but
not possible on Corsair2.
I have a thought to juggle a few LC components around to sinusoid the
sidetone and will update if results successful.
PTO stability the other perennial problem. Corsair owners may be interested
in this alternative to buying or
building a complex huff-and-puff stabiliser. It obviously requires
experimentation and speed of
correction slow  but perhaps a circuit to be switched in permanently.
