As I recall, that problem was quickly fixed.
On the other hand, as the I recall, the Paragon turned in the
best two tone dynamic range the ARRL had reported up to the
time of the review, and since then few rigs have matched or
bettered the Paragon. It's TT third order dynamic range was
over 100 db! Not bad by any standard. Blocking dynamic
range was very high as well.
I have three here, one as a lab instrument, one as a ham radio
transceiver and one probably for sale some day when I get
around to it.
Other than the well known solder failure in the PLL board, my
Paragons have been trouble free and they are bullet proof as
far as handling strong signals.
