PROBLEM: The Paragon II display board is set with a series of "7's" in its
display
I replaced the rocker ON/OFF switches on both the 961 PS and the PARAGON
II.
I replaced the PS switch first and the units worked fine. Then I decided
to
replace the PARAGON II switch. I removed the top and bottom clamshell
covers
then loosened the side screws for the front panel then slowly and
carefully
rotated the front panel forward to gain access to the back of the rocker
switch. The base of the PARAGON II was propped about 2 inches to allow
free
rotation of the front panel. The ON/OFF rocker switch was replaced
without
incident and a check of all connectors was made to ensure they were all
seated and
no wires pulled away. When energizing the unit the DISPLAY showed only a
series of "7's" which did not change. I rotated the tuning knob and a few
"7's"
blinked but nothing else. I tried cycling off and on a few times with
waiting
period in between but no changes.
The radio does receives.
I went back a second time removing all the connectors on the front panel
and
top boards and cleaned with DE-OXITE with a sprayed Q-Tip and reseated
them.
TEN TEC: I did contact Ten Tec Service and was advised to check the
connectors (which I did) and it not would would need to see some bench
time to figure
it out.
Before I box this up for that trip to Ten Tec I was hoping someone else
may
have experience this problem and has a solution. Is there some other tests
or
checks or maybe a RESET?
I appreciate your help.................Alan KB7MBI
