Re: [TenTec] receivers: paragon vs. corsair II

[Bwana Bob <wb2vuf@verizon.net>]

I second that.  I have a Paragon and an original Corsair. Both work 
fine. The Paragon has the advantage of general coverage receive and the 
convenience of  keypad entry, but my preferred rig is the Corsair, 
especially for CW. The Corsair seems to have a quieter receiver. Even 
atmospherics (QRN) don't sound as bad on the Corsair.
