[TenTec] Re: Paragon Question - Lack of sensitivity

[Steve Baron - KB3MM]

Here's an interesting observation.
The TT circuit description says that D1-D16 are pin diodes.

The scematic says D1-D8 are BA482 - almost a PIN diode although mfgr did not
describe as such - called VHF switchng diode.

The schematic says D9-D16 are 1N4148.

Important to look at the actual device on the board rather than schematic.

TT told me that the schematics which come with your rig are not updated for
every lille change they may make.

No big deal, but look before you leap.
