Peter,

Don't buy it or even think about.
It's probably the worst product they ever launched.
I know it well, but cannot do anything - I'm fried well and out.

For my critisism they even banned my access to the reflector.

Hi
TenTec Users,&nbsp;I have
been looking to add a second TenTec rig to the station, aside from the
Pegasus which I have. I have looked at possibly a Triton 544 or Omni D
version C--they are hard to come by or cost more than I can afford. But
now I have found at least 5 Paragons at three different places and wonder
if they are any good? The fact that five are available makes me think they
might be Turkeys. How does a Paragon stand up to an Omni D version C? Yeah,
I know what Paragon means; but is that advertising or something for real.&nbsp;Pete,
W6JFR&nbsp;PS. I couldn't
afford the Triton 544 which was offered at $425 --but I can still dream.</blockquote>
