I am a sysop for a MARS PACTOR switch. We are using Paragons for
the switch operation and I am wondering if anyone has seen the
following behavior and if so what is the problem and perhaps the cure.
On Saturday, 25 September, I had to check our PACTOR switch
because no one was able to log into the switch to get traffic. I
initially found the Paragon working but the audio was just a loud
buzz and when the tuning dial was turned the display remained on
the same frequency even though I was moving the tuner. I did a
hard reset of the rig and things seemed to be cured.
Today, 26 September, I had to again check the switch due to the
same problem. I turned the rig off and on (without a reset) and
things were fine, I then had another operator connect to the
switch - as traffic was being downloaded by the remote operator
the switch was functioning but then stopped - the TNC (a PK232MBX)
had the send light lock on, however the rig was no longer
transmitting, my loud noise was back and the display was blank. I
do not believe the problem is with the TNC - I believe the issue
is related to the radio.
Any help would be appreciated.
