Pictures of the Hercules II show a bandswitch position for 4-6.5 MHz. 
Paragons will transmit there. I'll have a Hercules II in a week or so, 
and I could look at the schematics and tell you whether there is a 
bandpass filter to go along with that bandswitch position. One would 
presume that there is.

Thanks for the information about the Riley's cable lacking that wire. I 
was considering buying one ready made. Now that I know about that, I 
guess I'll be making the cable myself, or finding another source for one 
already made. I'll be needing cables to interconnect Paragon II, 
Hercules II and 253, and my logging computer. Any recomendations for 
connector sources will be appreciated.
