[TenTec] Paragon I PLL

[Carl Moreschi]

This is a common problem with Paragons.  The fix is to remove the PLL 
board and reflow all the solder joints on that board.  The problem is 
cold solder joints that don't show up until much later in the radio's life.

In each instance, after turning on the Paragon, i pressed the RESET button and normal operation for hours, in all respects (mode and band changes) plus power output, was returned
