Hi,
Never see anything about the paragon vs other rigs on here. I just recently purchased a paragon and i love it. I use it only on ssb and i have all the filters and gehiel chip. I have owned the top end yaesu,kenwood,icom stuff in the past but really like the simple straight fwd working of the paragon and it's looks. I have owned maybe 15 to 20 used rigs and always get bored and re-sell. The paragon is a keeper for sure.I know the later omni's carry a bigger price tag onn the used market but why ? the cabinet and layout look the same as the paragon. what are the extra features and do they really add that much more value to the radio ?

TNX.
