I noticed that not in all cases will the meter (set to SWR) in the Paragon  
II read exactly the same as that is the 238 ATU. By the way the 238 and the  
Paragon are connected by an 18 inch quality jumper (Belden 8214).
 
I found a discussion on the topic in the ARCHIVES at
_http://lists.contesting.com/archives//html/TenTec/2003-01/msg00663.html_ 
(http://lists.contesting.com/archives//html/TenTec/2003-01/msg00663.html) 
 
Basically this section in short says to believe the meter in the rig. 
 
SITUATION: I did notice that if I turn the  AGC button to OFF the  meter will 
match the ATU meter. (By the way I use a MFJ 249 Analyzer to find the  
settings for the ATU but find in some cases it still needs to be tweeked when I 
 
push TUNE.)  Is this normal? I could not find anything in the manual that  even 
mentions the AGC in conjunction with operation of the SWR/TUNE set  up.
 
Is this normal or do I have a problem I need to look into?
 
Thank you
