[TenTec] Paragon RTTY Alingment

[ve1bn@ns.sympatico.ca]

Bruce -

I used the shift info in the manual to set "things on the nose" in my 
Paragon.

You have to use an external voltage source, say plus 9 V, to have shift high 
and
-9V to shift low.  The manual will set you straight if you keep this in 
mind.

I used 9V because I made a small battery changeover circuit with a slide 
switch
in an Altoids box to have +9V or -9V as selected to a RCA connector which
fesds the Paragon.  Its a Paragon 2 in my case.  Same thing for the original
rig.

Hope this will help out, OM.
