[TenTec] QRPing a Ten-Tec Paragon? -Reply

[Roger Sellers]

I have a Paragon and have the mod done ( Thanks Paul, WA9FFL). Somewhere, I have
the information on how it's done. I'll try to find it and forward it to you.

 In case anyone can find it faster, or you search the TenTec reflector archives,
this information was posted here on the reflector last year.

Scott, I just recently purchased a Paragon.  I had called Scott at Ten
Tec before my purchase to inquire if it was possible to lower the output
on the Paragon.  He rattled off the complete procedure, but I didn't
write it down since I didn't own one yet.  So, if he can dictate it over
the phone, it must be factory authorized.  I seem to remember him saying
the mod would take it down to 2 watts.  BTW, mine goes down to about 23
watts right now, I'm planning on contacting Scott or the service dept.
soon to get the mod again.

Hope this helps.

73,

Eric
