I already deleted the message about the Paragon and Paragon II production
numbers. But if it helps, I was at TenTec on Tuesday and they have a really
nice looking Paragon II in the used equipment case for $1150.00 Seems like
a good price for such a nice rig. And as the other message stated you just
don't see them for sale very often.
Stan is chomping at the bit to get his hands on a 516 to take home a try!
And they now have some preliminary specs for the 516 receiver. I talked to
him briefly about the Orion. When I mentioned specs for the receiver and
generally the rig overall. He got a REALLY BIG SMILE on his face. Just
said it was going to be really a nice rig! HMMMMMM. Its alway interesting
to talk to Stan or Scott about these new rigs. They both smile a lot!
Makes a guy wonder! And from what I saw...they are VERY BUSY!
It also sounds like there are a lotta people ready to buy the new Orion and
the 516 QRP rig. He said the first production runs of BOTH rigs were nearly
SOLD OUT!

PS. The TenTec hamfest should be very interesting this year. See ya there!
