Travis:
I think that the Paragon II included AM transmit capability (the
original Paragon will only receive AM). Also, the P II includes single
button band switching with band stacking registers, like the Omni VI.
The PII also has a serial interface for PC control.
I have the original Paragon. Some of these had problems with bad solder
joints on the PLL boards. This is not a catastrophic problem. Once I
fixed mine, it has been trouble free for many years. It is a fine swl
receiver. I have never had intermod problems with it.
