[TenTec] additional info re Corsair (" I" ) digital readout error

[Trevor]

Thanks everyone for pointing out my "duh" about the
VFO jumper-

I'd be embarassed if I weren't so busy being
delighted it's this simple.  

I ever owned a VFO until a couple of years ago when I
picked up a spotless one from Ten-Tec's Used demo
list- and sure enough, last time I had the Corsair
out, I'd hooked up the external VFO- and forgot to
put the jumper back afterwards.  

Thanks again

 this may sound simple, but there's a jumper in the
back that goes 'vfo in---vfo out'

make sure the jumper is in place and seated tightly

without it, the counter won't display correctly
(radio won't work either!)
