Jay,
You might try the Pass Band Tuning Alignment (an internal Adjustment of a
resistor as I recall). I have had trouble with my Paragon One with some
asymmetry in the tuning of the passband (it would tune further on the high
side of the passband than it would on the lower side). Is your front panel
passband tuning knob in the center of it's rotation when you find the 'sweet
spot' in the 2.4 KHz bandwidth? Does it make a difference if you open up the
bandwidth to 6.0 KHz? Both of you try switching to USB and see if there is
any difference.
I must get my Paragon Manual back from St. Helena! (That will teach me to
loan a rig with the book).

George V73GT
PS. I always enjoy e-communication with you!
