[TenTec] One happy Paragon user

[Vic Klein]

Congratulations on the Paragon, Frans. I am very happy with my 585 with the
6.0 Giehl chip. Regarding the battery problem, there was a mod incorporated
in later models to provide for a NiCd battery to retain the memories. Mine
has that feature and I replaced the battery when I bought my Paragon (the
old one was dead). Now it can be left unplugged for over a week and does not
lose memory. There is a warning sticker about not using regular alkaline
batteries indicating that the radio has that mod, so you might check for
that.

I have heard others report that the PBT being set between 11 and 1 depending
on the sideband selected is normal. If yours is consistently off one way or
the other, remounting the knob might be a solution.
