[TenTec] Paragon less sensitivity on 12 and 10 meter

[Dan.Newby at cpspet.com]

Harry,

You might check the PIN diodes for those bands on the receiver's high pass
filter board. I have had to replace a couple of them before.

However, the most likely thing is the reed relays on the output low pass
filter board. The received signal goes thru it then on to the high pass
filter mentioned above.  Ten Tec had some problems like this with the
earlier Paragons and switched to a better reed relay. I had to replace
several of them on the Paragon I had. But as I remember, it has been a few
years ago, it wasn't too bad of a job.

Hallo

i noticed a much less sensitivity on 12 and 10 meter
on the Paragon.

All seemed o.k. up to 22 MC, but above there is much less sensitivity.


Any help?
