[TenTec] AM on the paragon

[Mike Bryce]

boys and girls....

problem with AM rec has been fixed.

The problem was an open choke on the 2nd mixer board.

The pin diodes were not all being turned on, just the one half, which allowed the 6 mhz filter to be 'somewhat on' 

now AM is just as strong as on the other modes.
