Bruce - The Paragon can be controlled from a PC. I have the program from Ten-Tec that was designed to do that but is DOS not XP. Don't have a Paragon now. Bought a Paragon II as an upgrade some time

Dave - K1FK, You mean you have replaced the standard 2.4 kHz with an INRAD 2.1 kHz filter for the roofing filter? Guess it would do the same improvement for my OMNI 6+. I work 99% CW so the narrower
