Does anyone know if any original Paragon boards be used in a Paragon II and vice versa? _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list TenTec@contesting.com http://lists.contesti
My clock in Paragon II was acting goofy, wierd symbols, clock quit each time I shut off rig, so I located a chip-DS 1287A+ which was purported to be direct replacement. Installed it, KNOWING it had a
Peter, the build dates are on the front of the chips, so I made sure of that. Rig has 1287 in it, I got a 1287a+. It DID have an extra pin. I will locate a 12887 and try that. Thanks. k8vf __________
Greetings. I recently got a Paragon II and it was out of adjustment. (Formerly belonged to Federal Highway Dept?) I set BFO's as well as possible. Basically has to set fsk bfo's off a bit to get the
Hi again, Bob. Yes I did my settings while at 14 mHz and that's where I had the rig from the start. Set it up just as you did, had it on an hour or more, and lid on, replaced after any adjustment. We
i have set Reference oscillator , and the BFO's on the rig. Rig is on frequency as discussed a week or so ago. My issue is this. USB sounds great on transmit. LSB, however, is thin. Narrow, like you
Thanks, Ken. Yes, my first job was to set the bfo's correctly, at least LSB, USB and CW transmit...got them within one Hertz. I had to mal adjust the FSK bfo's in order to get the other 3 on freq...(
Bob, How do you adjust FK low and High? To get to fsk you hit fsk and CW, then tune to transmit. OK, then adjust appropriate cap for fsk low. If you then adjust appropriate cap for FSK high is their
Pete, I am using the one which the manual refers to as LSB rtty receive. There are 5 there. One for FSK low one for FSK high LSB rtty receive USB CW or tune Transmit (Bob advises that to adjust fsk l

I bought a PII recently from a SK buddy's son. I am running into a couple issues. 1- after warming up, I am losing 160 meter , 80 meter, and 60 meter transmit and receive. Rig appears dead. Works ok
For what its worth, I got rid of the distortion by nulling the carrier. R39 on passband tuning board had to be bottomed out to do this, but it cleared up carrier and distortion. _____________________
It's a sad day for me,I turned my omni 7 on today and I have 100 watts on all modes(fm,am,cw,fsk) except SSB I only get 5 watts out and it's all distortion.I also put audio through ACC 1 and used lin
I sent mine in for an intermittent like that, only on 80 meters. Probably on oscillator board, which is under top cover, left front, UNDER the board shield. You need to dress the cables and insulate
Take a 4x6 inch card and start at the back, holding card vertically, only exposing 1/4 of the board at a time...as you go across, put the dryer to it, and if it comes on-or goes off, remove heat and
Has anyone used a 2800Hz filter in their Omni/Paragon rig in the 9mHz slot to widen their band width? Just wondering if it was worth the effort, and did it improve transmit fidelity to the receive st
I asked my original question because I have a Paragon II with a non balanced filter, it seems. LSB is high pitched, USB is more normal or bassy. I got one which had been checked by TT in Tenn, but wh
