I tried to use my Paragon II for the Straight Key Night operating event. I got a few seconds of transmit power out, and then it quit working.

I tried it tonight and it is working. When will it fail again, is the question now. Can't fix it when it isn't broke, so I guess I'll just have a QSO or two.

The 1200 baud interface to the computer makes a noise that it never made with the Omni VI. Same computer, same port, same cable, all the same grounding connections. The only thing changed is the baud rate, and I can still hear the noise if I set the logging program back to 4800, which is what I was using with the Omni VI. 4800 baud won't work with the Paragon, but the noise is there.
