[TenTec] Corsair II noise blanker

[A R]

I agree. The NB on the Triton's completely eliminates my S9+ powerline noise, but neither the Corsair or OMNI V NB's are effective dealing with that noise. I too have wondered why the Triton NB design was abandoned. I can only guess that perhaps, at the time, the Soviet's OTH woodpecker presented more of an aggravation than impulse/ignition noise to op's. I didn't have any TT gear during the reign of the woodpecker, but none of my other radios dealt with it effectively. The way things are going, maybe the variable pulsewidth NB's of the Corsairs and OMNI V that were designed to defeat the woodpecker, will be useful again.

  The best noise blanker I've ever heard was in the Triton 544. It really works very well . Why anyone would change a good design is a mystery.

The other Corsair II has a NB board p/n 81401, for which I've not been able to find any documentation. TenTec has been unable to find documentation for this NB, despite the fact that it appears to be of production quality (not one-off lab bench quality). Does anyone else have a Corsair II with the 81401 NB, or any information (schem and interface interconnect) for this NB? The 81401 NB has roughly 2/3 the component count of the 80977, and has no unpopulated holes or device hole patterns. S/N of the Corsair II with the "rogue" NB is 561-02258.
