[TenTec] Paragon problem

[K8JHR]

Hi Vic -- I am far from expert on this, but I wonder if you can locate 
ANOTHER protective diode in the receiver circuit.  I once killed my Omni 
VII receiver by hot-switching an "active" receive only antenna - the 
power connector arced to case ground of a bias-tee injector as I plugged 
it in, and that fritzed the receiver.  Gary at TenTec service called me 
to explain it before he fixed it, and I believe he said there were 
multiple diodes to protect the rig in such cases.

So... perhaps you have more than one diode or fuse or other prophylactic 
device to check?
