Not true. They're still plugging away on 80M, and since the FCC's removal of CW privileges for General and Advanced class in the 3.6 to 3.8 MHz segment, most have had to move down into the cramped 3.
It appears CW was removed for Gen & Adv licensees, not Extra. Kinda muddy interpretations so far, but most believe this to be true. Needs to be corrected, if so. w8au ________________________________

I can agree with all of this. I have had two, my remaining one being used in the Mobile for the past 13 years! Not sure that having ALL the plug-in band modules is necessary. Get only the ones you wo
In deference to Duane, the JA's were slower into full conversion to solid state... Tube amps/drivers (hybrids) lasted a number of years after USA went all solid, beginning with TenTec. Perry w8au ___
Regardless of TenTec's instructions, I did bench tests with some C21's and inserting some resistance in the key lines to see how it affected the waveshape. I was able to insert up to 1000 ohms in ser
I doubt it. This Paragon is the first "modern" rig that I've ever seen stripped. NO... it really is sacrilege! All for money. If every item is sold, it's big $$$. w8au _______________________________

No mod needed. Just remove the "ham" plug on the logic board for all freq coverage. Only if your input level is higher than line level. Also, a good idea to avoid ground loops (hum) is to use a small

There WAS a Triton 1. It was the 50 watt version of the Triton 2 We had one at our Radio club back in the 70's. Had the "Triton 1" Logo on the front panel. Same beige paint scheme. Perry w8au _______
While Jerry"s historical note is true, the D-104 has worked well with the early series TenTec rigs despite the technical reasons why it won't. The Triton and early OMNI sets sound very good with the
Although the real cure has been mentioned numerous times over the last 15 years or so, this question periodically comes up. The need is mostly to "re-lube" not rebuild, because the original grease ha
Yes, Jerry, there are some legitimate rebuild situations such as yours, but my comment above was "mostly," referring to probably 90% or more of TT PTO's. In any case, I would try the "clean and relub

The OMNI-5 and Paragon were next, but not sure which one was first at this point. I atill have most all TenTec advertisements from PM series on. When I get down into the dusty archived files, I will
Geoff: You're thinking of the D-104, not the 10-D. The 10-D is an SSB-tailored dynamic mike in a chromed bullet style casing. (Which works extremely well on my Paragon, BTW) Perry w8au ______________
