[TenTec] Corsair II - No S-Meter Reading?

[Steve Hunt]

Gary,

Page 2-6 of my manual says:

"METER SWITCH
In receive mode, the meter will automatically read S units when the METER switch is in any position except IC"

I'm pretty sure the reason is that for all the other functions one side of the meter can be grounded; but when measuring IC both sides of the meter float above ground to measure volt drop across an "in-line" 0.015 Ohm resistor.

73,
Steve G3TXQ

  I have a Corsair II which has developed a no S-Meter reading (meter needle stays on "0") when the meter switch is Ic position during receive. When the meter switch is in the SWR, FWD, or Process positions normal S-Meter readings are indicated during receive. All other meter functions including Ic during transmit are normal.

  Any ideas on the problem, failed component, remediation? Thanks!
