[TenTec] Paragon II and 301 encoder knob

[Ken Brown]

Now that I am using my Paragon II for my primary station QSOing rig, I 
noticed that the 301 encoder knob cannot be used with it. At least not 
without some modification. The Omni VI and the 301 encoder knob use only 
+5V and Theta 1 and Theta 2 (how to get those symbols from a PC keyboard 
into a email?) and the Paragon takes those two quadrature signals from 
the encoder and connects them to a few gates (wired as inverters) making 
them into Q1, not Q1, Q2 and not Q2. Seems like, in principal at least,  
wires from the Paragon encoders two output lines could be run back to 
the 25 pin D connector on the back of the radio, and make it work with a 
301 plugged in there. Has anybody tried this?
