[TenTec] Jupiter selectivity

[Robert & Linda McGraw K4TAX]

Tips in what way?  I use mine on CW, SSB, AM and FM.  It is quite good on CW 
and SSB as one would expect. As to AM it works nice, just adjust the power 
in AM mode to 25 to 30 watts output, LSB, and run the mike gain where you 
would for SSB.  This power level is just about correct for driving a 
Centurion to legal AM limit of 375 watts carrier.  A scope on the output is 
a big help in getting modulation set correctly.  As to FM, I find that I 
need to advance the mike gain quite a bit to get good deviation.  I've not 
used it with any computer control program or software so I can't comment. 
As to CW, I use an external MFJ-406 keyer and Iambic paddle.  For external 
DSP I find that the Timewave DSP-9+ is very adequate.

Clip the HAM  jumper on the processor board and enjoy 60 meters.

I did have an original Paragon which I purchased new in 1990.  I sold it a 
year or so ago and purchased the Paragon II used from Tentec.  Filled it 
with filters.  Also have a late model Omni VI Plus with a tummy full of 
filters.  Great radio!
