Dick, I occasionally have that problem with the Argo V - but I don't think it is directly a "rig"/Hardware problem. There is some timing issue with the software and actuating the PTT or communicating
I was just now listening to an XE beacon on 10 meters while in the process of testing BandMaster with the Paragon II. I was pretty jazzed because I have heard nothing on 10 meters since I put the sta
The Beacon was on 28.188.000 It was in a Spot list that BandMaster pulled up. The time was right around noon PDT. I'm sorry I didn't write down the whole call. I was in a hurry - had an appointment a
When I connected DB25 to DB9 from the Paragon II to the computer I had to use a NULL Modem serial cable. NOT a Straight Through serial cable. So you might want to check that if you plan on going from
While continuing to play with this I've noticed something that might invalidate my previous observations. When I click on a spot frequency the Paragon goes right there and I can hear the cw station -
Jerome, I have used DXSoft's FREE CW Type program (the companion CW Get has is not Free). It is great, with lots of macro capability and speed control - and it doesn't use a sound card interface - it
Carl, What exactly is the hookup between WinKey the computer and the Rig. I don't suppose the Argo V is supports that right now - but should it in the future....Currently I have a serial cable going
About sound card issues - only one application at a time can use the sound card. You can put in a second sound card or check out WaveClone - also via DXSoft. WaveClone make a Virtual Sound card for e
If anyone has be successful with software control of the Paragon II - primarily frequency changing - please tell me your settings and/or software. I have Ham Radio Deluxe, Commander (DX Lab), Hamport
But don't you think they should at least make the corrections available on line. I spent more than a few hours trying to get software control of the Paragon and one of the stumbling blocks was the Ma
From time to time I see one advertised in eHam in "Mint Collector condition" for $450.00 But the guy must not have any takers at that price because the ad keeps reappearing.
Haven't following the entire tread but I'm and advocate for lower power rather than higher. I was dismayed to see a recent article on the ARRL or eHam site saying 100W wasn't enough and 200-250W rigs
I posted this in the specific Argonaut 516 newsgroup but only got one response suggesting turning the bandwidth to the absolute minim, then use PBT. But just in case the group here as other ideas....
Paragons cannot be used for DXing since their frequency readout uses only one color Darn, I was planing to work some DX with my cool looking (yes, that's why I bought it) Paragon II. Maybe I can get
CWType, from DxSoft, is free. It uses a small circuit - two diodes, two resistors, one transistor (all available at Radio Shack) - to key the rig. Your cable goes from the serial port to the key jack
My last key was a J-38, so many decades ago. Now I feel the cw itch again but the world has changed. From reading these posts about a week ago, and my experience with demos at ham stores, I think I'd
Thank you to all who have replied either on this list or to me personally. You guys are going to cost me a lot of money. hi I tried to reply to all direct email and apologize if I missed anyone. I pr
Bob, There's a video movie called SwordFish. In it, a programmer has to be convinced to demonstrate some hacking skills. If you watch it (rated R) it might provide some motivational suggestions to ge
