Bill:

I had the same problem with the 500 Hz filter in my Paragon. Selectivity 
was fine but insertion loss was higher than the other filters. I swapped 
in the 500 Hz filter from my Corsair and it was fine. I thought of 
replacing all of the capacitors in the filter, but figured that the 
problem was more likely crystal aging. I didn't want to buy a used 
filter, which might have the same aging problem, so I opted for an INRAD 
500 Hz filter.  The new filter fixed the problem and it seems to have 
better skirt selectivity than the old Ten Tec filter.
