[TenTec] Corsair II RF Gain

[Richards]

Golly... now I am rather new at this, but I thought it varies depending 
on band conditions, and possibly other considerations inside the rig, in 
that it could
vary from frequency to frequency.   I suppose there is some point where it
cuts out all together, but I have never felt it was the same place on 
the dial for every band or for all frequencies.

Are you looking for a calibration point?  or something like that.  Are 
you looking for an electrical point where turning the RFGain down 
further cuts out ALL signal, noise, and EVERYTHING?   Are looking for an 
absolute threshold?

I do a little different from Gary, although the same procedure overall. 
  I turn AF gain to 50-60, and then back RF-Gain all the way down until 
two things happen, namely where the signal and noise both seem to fade 
or cut out, and also when the S-meter turns from dropping to rising.

If you need a manual, I think I have it, or it may be on the TT web 
page, but it sounds like you are looking for something that may not show 
up in the schematics or the usual user guide.

Sorry if I am off base or helping in the wrong direction.
