It was my understanding, that in all their infinite wisdom, the GOVERNMENT
changed the date of the EDST changes per their own wishes. This means ALL
the computers, and ANY electronic equipment that were "hard coded" to a date
won't work until that date comes and goes. I have played hell with my older
logging Dell computer vs the EQF software that I use for logging. The EQF
software seems OK, but the Dell won't let it change to EDST!
Anyway, the same goes for ANY hard coded chips, no matter where they are. I
can only say keep checking daily on times/dates until May 1st. I have
disabled all automatic updates on both, just to be safe. Long live the
wisdom of beauocrats! I'm still checking ...

I have the original Paragon and the clock seems to change by an hour at
random times. I run it on GMT (UTC) and I have to reset it fairly often.

I wrote the firmware for the Paragon II. The clock chip is programmable
with a daylight savings time option bit. This setting is always turned
off
in the Paragon II. So the Paragon II will never change its clock for
DST.

Clock "problem" may be the daylight saving time spring advance and and
fall back times that are "hard coded" to execute based upon advancing
the
time one hour at 0100 the last Sunday in April and to fall back one hour
at 0200 the last Sunday in October. This was verified (by me) during
research for the Millennium rollover. The clock chip is a Motorola IC
with
no options to deactivate the advance and set back.
I'm a previous owner of a Paragon II. Great radio.... just run a
separate
clock for logging!

Subject: [TenTec] Paragon II
Tentec Paragon II station for sale. Model 586. This is a highly
desirable Paragon II model and is considered an equivalent to higher
priced transceivers today. It has all the available filters installed
and is supplied with the matching Tentec 961 power supply/speaker and
Tentec desk mike. Also, the original boxes and manual are available.
The station was operated in a non-smoking environment. The receiver is
general coverage, 300 Khz to 30 Mhz. Modification to allow the
transmitter to operate between 1.8 and 30 Mhz has been made, thus it
covers the new 60 meter band.
Equipment is in excellent cosmetic and mechanical condition and has no
scratches. The station clock is erratic at times, but this does not
affect the operation of the transceiver.
Will consider selling Paragon II by itself.
If you are a C.W. operator, this is your dream set-up. Price $900.00
shipped and insured to lower 48 only. Contact Peter, W8US, at
W8us@comcast.net.
Peter
