I have a 585 Paragon and it is exactly the same. You CAN set the PBT to 12 o'clock and keep it there, but shifting it for USB or LSB as you describe tends to center it audio in the available bandwidt
Interesting posts on the Ten Tec background. I first became a Ten Tec owner when my wife sold a saddle and took a Ten Tec Triton I in trade from a fellow who had accepted it as part payment on a truc
A few months back I traded my old TS-930 for a really nice Paragon with the Geihl Chip, and I've since finished out the optional filters and even installed a Clearspeech DSP in the speaker/power supp
Thanks for the post, Mike, that is some good information and a nice memory of Clyde Goforth WA4NTZ. I first met these guys when I was still in High School in the 60's and called KUB about noise I was
Not the SGC, but coming across a deal on a ClearSpeech speaker, I picked that up and removed the DSP circuitry to install in my Paragon with good results. I have had a ClearSpeech speaker in my mobil
I had good experience running a ClearSpeech speaker mobile, so when I got a deal on another unit I grabbed it. These are extremely effective adaptive noise reduction DSP units made by NCT (Noise Canc
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
Congratulations on the Paragon, Frans. I am very happy with my 585 with the 6.0 Giehl chip. Regarding the battery problem, there was a mod incorporated in later models to provide for a NiCd battery t
Greetings, Marc. Might be worthwhile to replace the battery and be sure to check whether you have the mod to use a NiCd. Also, you can leave the power supply on and just turn off the rig from the fro
Many wattmeters display what appears to be the sum of forward and reflected power amounts, so they read high with any reflected power at all. Also, in doing some comparisons here I rarely get much ag

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
