[TenTec] Paragon II RS-232 noise

[VE1BN]

Ken -

It never happened with my Paragon II.  Is the noise you are experiencing 
still there when you pull the RS232 Interface Card?  Maybe just needs 
reinstallation to see if the card connector needs cleaning. A bad ground 
perhaps? Or a poor connection at the cabinet rear connector?
