[TenTec] Paragon-I

[Rich Arland]

Hi:

I have had my Paragon for about 4 months and absolutely LOVE the radio! It is the first truly "high end" rig I have ever owned and a true joy to use. 

Mic: The Model 705 is the prefered mic. It is the standard Paragon mic from all I can find out. List a "want" on this reflector and you'll have someone contact you normally within a couple of days. I did and had my mic in less than 2 days...in all 3 folks responded, so I know there are more 705s out there. Current price; I paid $45 plus s/h.

PSU: the Model 961 which is a 22 amp supply (if I remember correctly) and will power the Parragon to full power output on RTTY indefinately. Going price: I paid $165 plus s/h.

Giehl chip: try jack_g at fuse.net <jack_g at fuse.net> as I have just corresponded with him (mssg will come via seperate attachment) and he is still in business. He may not check his e-mail on a regular basis, just a thought. 

Hope this helps.
