[TenTec] Corsair II Problem

[Bwana Bob]

Woody:

Happy Easter!

Does the problem happen on all bands? If only on one band, check the 
bandswitch and look for cold solder joints on the coils on the Bandpass 
Filter board, 80976 (not to be confused with the PBT board, 80979). 
Look at the block diagram to see th elements that are common to receive 
and transmit, like the Low Pass filter, T/R switching and the Bandpass 
Filter.

> My Corsair II often will not load more than 5-10 W & the receive signal is weak.  When I gently slap the rig on the right side it comes up to full power and the receive signal comes to normal.  I'm going to open it up this weekend to look for loose connections, cold solder joints etc.  I'm a hobbyist (business major) so any advice re: what to look at first appreciated.  The rig was brought up to factory specs / aligned by TT about 4 mos. ago, was given a clean bill of health and performed flawlessly until this developed recently.  Happy Easter to all!  Woody / WD9F
