My old TS-930S/AT internal tuner would not be in the circuit on receive and I actually found that to be an advantage as receivers are a lot more tolerant of a typical antenna mismatch, much more than

Hello, Kurt. I think the Paragon may be the best value in premium HF rigs on the used market. I have a 585 Paragon and absolutely love it! The RF section is virtually the same as the Omni V, but it u
Just to jump in, Harry, the Paragon shifts the LP filters on a frequency basis, not a band basis (you can hear the relays shift as you tune). The appropriate filter is in place when receiving 60m and
Do a search on the reflector. I recall the 960 was designed for use with the Corsair and was rated for something like 20 amps, whjile the Paragons and Omnis required 22 amps as supplied by the 961 an
I have a model 585 Paragon with a v.6 Giehl chip that has performed beautifully and is my all-time favorite rig. It had the trickle-charge option from the factory and uses a NiCd battery for maintain
I just obtained a model 258 RS-232 board for my Paragon. As I have a Giehl chip installed, the command structure is a bit different than the standard Ten Tec set as in their BASIC control program. Be
Well, thanks to a hot tip emailed in from Wayne, VE3CE, I found out that ther IS a mod to the voice board for this very problem. I called Ten Tec this morning and Don confirmed I needed to install on
I recently obtained a model 258 RS-232 interface for my 585 Paragon with a v6.0 Giehl chip. I have not been able to get anything going either to or from the board using either HyperLog (has settings
My 585 Paragon (S/N 70A10182) originally had a Ten Tec ROM chip labeled "8161 v 4.0" which indicated it had the new Major Loop board (81338 Rev C) installed. It was replaced with a Giehl v.6.0 chip.
Hey, Jim! Congrats on the new Paragon. I also have a 585 model and absolutely LOVE it. Look around for the Giehl chip as it adds some nifty functionality to the original Paragon, making operating it
Just for the record, my model 258 RS232 board for my 585 Paragon is now working, thanks to a tip from Don Prouty at Ten Tec. Seems later versions of that board included a 10M resistor across the crys
I use an LDG Z100 with my Paragon. The problem with these small autotuners is that the Ten Tec radios do not fold back the power at high SWR levels and can exceed the capability of the tuner until a
After finally finding an RS-232 board for my 585 Paragon with a Giehl upgrade, I set out to modify the original BASIC program that allows computer control of the radio. After some fiddling for the se

I did fiddle around with some shielding, rerouting wiring, and added filtering without success. There is at least one transformer on the CS board, and I suspect that the field near the TT power suppl
Get a couple of snap-together ferrite cores from Radio Shack, the bigger square ones are nice. Wrap the speaker leads from the computer through them several times. Problem gone. =Vic= WA4THR
Good comparison. Note that by substituting a Giehl chip for the original chip in the PI (a simple plug-in install) you get the band-stacking registers and one-touch changing to any band as well. This
