[TenTec] paragon II performance on longwave band??

[Bob McGraw - K4TAX]

The Paragon II is different from the original Paragon.  The original Paragon 
uses a different front end for the segment below the BC band while the 
Paragon II uses the same front end for 100 KHz to 1.7 MHz.  Yes the Paragon 
II does not hear as well below the BC band as the original Paragon.

Nope, Tentec radios overall have excellent receiver performance.
