[TenTec] CorsairII notch potentiometer

[CSM(r) Gary Huber]

I have a Corsair II that I use everyday to log PSK-31 DX. With the external 
VFO and 1.8kHz, 500 Hz, and 250 Hz options, I 've worked a lot of DX with 
it. I had the digital display recapped and that’s about it.  I'll probably 
try to keep my Corsair II as long as I can operate and not worry about the 
cost of doing so. I'm on my third newer radio from Ten-Tec (Paragon, 
OMNI-VI+, and now OMNI-VII) and although the newer radios are better from a 
station integration standpoint and have better close-in third order IMD and 
blocking, the pure analog dual receive receiver section, and 100w TX QSK of 
the Corsair II, still works well when snagging a weak DX station before the 
pile-up.  And I can still repair and maintain the radio or find someone who 
can.

For me the Corsair II is like a Chevy 283 V-8, there's newer equipment, but 
the old classic (I know well) still does the job and then some.... it’s a 
"keeper"!


73 es DX,

Hi Don...   there seems to be no accounting for it.   My local friend,
Chuck AJ8W, has been working on another guy's  TT Omni C for nearly 6
months, and is only now getting on to the final fix.   I don 't think
these things are explained by any sort of cost-benefit analysis.

His wife says his is "crazy."

Maybe he is.       ;-)

Happy Trails.
