I hooked up the serial data port on my Paragon II to my computer for logging of the frequency. There is a buzzing noise in the speaker/headphones with every data string. The volume of the noise does not depend on the band in use, whether an antenna or a terminator is connected, the mode or band. The only controls on the rig that do affect the noise are the audio gain and the tone controls. Seems like the noise is getting into the audio stages, maybe through a power supply common to both the RS-232 board and the audio stages. Have any of you experienced anything like this with a Paragon or Paragon II? It never happened with my Omni VI.
