Hi Tim,
I, too, have had similar symptoms with my Paragon in the past. Mine were
caused by a short, momentary interruption of DC voltage to the rig. It
seems the processor gets confused and doesn't know what to do. A power
reset always fixed the problem. You might also check to be sure the
backup battery to make sure it is charged.
