The QST review mentioned a phase noise problem, but when it was reported 
to Ten-Tec, they came up with some mods to correct the problem. Only 
vwery early Paragons would have had the problem, and they most likely 
hav all received the  mod. I am not aware of a current problem. The 
magazine reviews were all excellent. Even by today's standards, the 
Paragon is an excellent radio. Your friends are just jealous!
