Yes, as Joel says there is a well-marked jumper on the main processor board
that you clip, then you just add the 60m frequencies (appropriately offset
for standard ham conventions, like 5.3305 for 60M CH1) to your memory and
remember the power restrictions and you're good to go! Mine are
appropriately set as the 1st 5 memory channels for ease in remembering. The
Paragon also allows you to display your call (or anything else within the 7
character limit) on VFO use by entering it as the memo tag on channel zero,
which I have set to WWV. Cool stuff!

To my knowledge, there is no easy way to add just 60 meters to a Paragon's
transmit range. It is very simple, however, to let it transmit over all of
its
range. There is a wire on top of the chassis that has a tag on it that reads
"amateur" or something (sorry I'm at the office right now, out of range of
the
radio). If you clip that, it will transmit everywhere, including on 60
meters.
This requires caution, obviously, but it seems to work fine on mine, and has
been that way for many years.
Very nice radio, except the close-in dynamic range doesn't match current top
line transceivers with narrow roofing filters.
