[TenTec] PARAGON MUTE

[Carl Moreschi]

As far as antenna connection shared between the DX100 and paragon, use a 
DPDT relay that both grounds the paragon receive antenna input and opens 
it from the DX100 antenna during receive.  I have done this numerous 
times with other transmitter/receive pairs and it will provide plenty of 
protection.

Then follow Bob's suggestion to put the paragon in transmit for muting.

I want to use my T-T Paragon 585 transceiver as my AM Receiver in conjunction with my DX-100.  I have built the “traditional” outboard antenna transfer relay with an auxiliary spst shorting mute output for use with the DX-100.  Now I find that the Paragon has NO provision for muting the receiver externally.  I am concerned about damaging the front end of the receiver with the DXC-100 output.  I doubt simply grounding the “antenna” jack on the Paragon would be adequate protection.  I therefore ask for this group’s knowledge and expertise as how to approach any needed modification or procedures required.  Thank you for your assistance.  QRZ Info is current.  Regards,  Bob K4BG
