Actually, the Paragon and the Paragon II both have phased lock loop
oscillators.

Subject: [TenTec] paragon question
I don’t have a paragon, but a Paragon II, Omni A and Omni C which have
PTO like Paragon does. Paragon II is a phase lock loop rig and is
quite different.
You need to check the PTO frequencies and set them at bottom and top of
500kHz positions. Also if it is compressed or expanded frequency wise,
you can adjust this as well.(on Omni A it goes from 5kHz to 5.5 kHz,
but Paragon may be different)
Verify the ref oscillator frequency.
Set the bfo frequencies for USB/LSB and cw.
PBT is for receive only, so as long as you can center the cw filter on
the dial, and as long as you can set SSB so it sounds ok,you CAN leave
it alone.. But on my Omni 5, 6, and Paragon, I adjusted the frequency
as called for in the manual……..this will set it up as shown below if
all is right)
Normally cw will be dead centered at 12 o clock.
SSB will be on one side or the other near10- 11 o clock, depending on
how you like to hear it, and which sideband you are on.
Make sure rig is warmed up, and that you have a Paragon manual………when
you lift lid, it will start to cool, so you kind of have to do it and
put cover back on to see if it stays put.
Best of luck. I am sure another fellow on the reflector can help you
out better than I have.
