[TenTec] Paragon II ears compared to ArgoV

[Jacobs, Gordon]

A few years ago I bought a new Omni 6 from the factory. When I first tried it
out I found that the receiver was hot and would pull out the signals. I had a
DELTA II (The most under rated radio TEN TEC ever produced) setting beside
the OMNI 6 so I thought I would see how much better the OMNI 6 was. With the
same antenna I found the sensitivity of the two to be about the same, but The
recovered audio on the DELTA II was better than the OMNI 6. The difference
would have been a QSO. The S meters were about the same. Not very scientific,
but interesting. Gordon KA5ZTI

The Paragon II is good.  I think the Corsair II may be even better, but my
Paragon II may need some TLC.

I was just now listening to an XE beacon on 10 meters while in the 
process of testing BandMaster with the Paragon II. I was pretty 
jazzed because I have heard nothing on 10 meters since I put the 
station together. Just for fun I switched on the Argo V and it 
couldn't even hear the beacon that was weak but clear copy on the OLD 
Paragon II. Looking at the sensitivity specs and having a "new is 
better" naivete, I expected the Argo to pick it up too. The K2 
couldn't grab it either.

Guess Ten Tec engineers knew a thing or two about building receivers 
before digital.
