[TenTec] Paragon II 586 keyer

[Rick and Karen Bunn]

As another very happy Paragon II owner,  I don't see any reference to a
built in keyer. I'm not a CW fan, but have a Bencher / MFJ keyer for that
rare DX when SSB won't get it.

My first radio (and still the one that gets the most use) is a TT Paragon
II 586.  I'm happy with it.  I greatly prefer it to the IC706 (except when
mobile, of course) and the extra knobs (and features that go with 'em)
over the TT Scout that I also own also gives it the edge in the shack (and
again, the simpler Scout gets the nod when mobile or /p).

My biggest complaint has been my lack of complaints - I can't justify
buying a shiny new rig. :D

I was unaware of the internal keyer - I'm going to have to look closer at
the manual.

The 586 also sports the FM board standard, which is probably only
particularly use if someone wants to use a transverter on VHF or UHF.
