[TenTec] corsair II question for Corsair II owners

[Jerry Haigwood]

Hi Mike,
    On my Corsair II, anything below a 3.5 on the front panel (RF Gain) and
the receiver is pretty much dead.  I tried it with and without the AGC being
turned on.  Before digging to deep into the IF/AGC circuit, you might want
to check to pot to make sure it is good and the right taper.  I have no idea
what the taper should be.
BTW, I hope you DDS is working fine by now.

Like the subject line says, I have a question for Corsair II users

On my Corsair II, when I reduce the RF gain down to about six on the scale,
the receiver is dead. The only action I have on receiver gain from  from max
clockwise to about 6 1/2 or so on the control. 

Every thing seems fine, sensitivity is right where it should be, only the
control has just a small amount of range. 

so before i tear into the IF/AF section, is this normal?

Thanks,

mike, wb8vge
