[TenTec] Corsair II DDS VFO Replacement

[Greg S]

Well, I have it completed. The N4YG DDS VFO replacement "kit" now resides in my Corsair II. I had a few "bumps" along the road, but Joe was ever the gentleman, and walked me through them, and I love the final results. I like having the VFOA and VFOB capability, and the ability to switch between them, or operate split at the touch of a button. I also REALLY like the variable tuning speed.... the faster you turn the knob, the faster the frequency changes. There is a small amount of drift in the 1st minute or two, as my shack is quite cool (60 Degrees,), but after that, she seems rock stable. I would encourage anyone interested in adding these features to their Corsair II, to give Joe's  "kit" a look. This kit could be installed in many of the PTO rigs, but you may have to come up with some other implementations for indicator lights. I actually enjoy rebuilding the old PTO's, but I don't see myself changing back!!
