Ken, the problem with this is that Ten Tec has to make money on their Orion sales. The only way to do this with trade-ins is to offer less for it than they will sell it for. Better to ask them what t

Ken, I have 3 in my Centaur. They allow slightly higher grid current. So you might not have to watch the grid drive as carefully. They have slightly higher plate dissipation. Ed, N5EI

Paul, I killed my diodes by using another transmitter with an antenna switch to select between the two. A little to much RF will take them out every time. Or a nearby lightning miss will do it as wel

Kurt, I have a Paragon II. I like it very much, especially its ability to do 60 meters. It has a number of upgrades from the Paragon I. If you have your choice and want to control by computer, use FM

Jerry, Do you have the Paragon I or II? I am wondering how the II sensitivity might compare to the other rigs you mention. I have a TS 930S and like its CW Roofing and CW filters. I do prefer the Par

The only disadvantage I can think of is in long wave reception where a resistive PAD decreases the sensitivity of the receiver. You would probably need a LW antenna matcher for really good reception.
