[TenTec] Paragon behavior

[M. P. Haynes]

Hi Tim,

I, too, have had similar symptoms with my Paragon in the past.  Mine were
caused by a short, momentary interruption of DC voltage to the rig.  It
seems the processor gets confused and doesn't know what to do.  A power
reset always fixed the problem.  You might also check  to be sure the
backup battery to make sure it is charged.

73,
