[TenTec] digital readout corsair 2

[Rich H]

Dale,

I am no expert on the Corsair, but the readout looks very similar to mine in an Omni D.  I have had mine out on the table two times, working on PTO issues.. It's on top of the PTO and must come out.  I did not find it to be fragile, beyond normal handling care.  YMMV, but in my shop it'd not be a problem to look around in there at least.  If it will run with the case off, I think I'd leave it that way and probe around a bit with a small wood dowel when the malady occurs.  I'd also mess with the VFO plug while the unit is live and exhibiting issues...

My digital read out has started to do several things. It intermittently freezes on one frequency and won?t respond to the PTO or the band switch. I turn the radio off and then back on and the display is completely dark except for the decimal. I let it sit for a day, then it came back on after it warmed up for a few seconds and worked fine for 3 more days, now it?s done the same thing again.
        The manual says that I can damage the digital display with static electricity, so is it safe to take the case apart to look for dirty connections? Where should I look for the problems?  I have checked the VFO plug in the back and it looks ok.
Thank you so much! Dale, KB0SYH
