Congrats on the new radio! I hope you enjoy your Paragon as much as I like
mine. About the only thing to check will be the 9v battery. See if the
recharging mod has been done and use the appropriate battery, depending. Do
NOT use an alkaline if it is set up to recharge.

I am waiting on the bbt to deliver a Paragon to me.

According to the seller: It has 6.0 2.4 1.8 .50 and .25khz crystal filters
in it. It also has the voice board. This transceiver has an early serial
number, but it has been back to Ten Tec for a full check up, at which time
Ten Tec performed some mods on it. TT updated the grounds on the major loop
board, also some work was done on the high pass filter board, and every
other circuit in the rig was checked.

I'm studying for my upgrade to general. Is there anything else in a Paragon
I should get checked out? Are there any tips or tricks to a Paragon I should
know about? I'm looking forward to owning a Tt and eventually getting to
tour the factory.
