[TenTec] Paragon II external mute control answer

[Ken Brown]

Studying the manuals, I have answered my own question.

Removing the TX OUT to TX EN jumper will allow a PTT input to mute the 
Paragon, without making it transmit. If the relay click is bothersome, 
there is a jumper on the CONTROL BOARD with can be moved to disable the 
relay. Sorry, no front panel control as on the Omni VI, to 
enable/disable the relay. A PHONO plug "Y" adaptor can be used to 
connect Omni VI TX OUT to both Paragon II PTT input (for muting) and 
amplifier KEY IN. No need for external diodes, there is one at every 
keying input already.
