[TenTec] Paragon PLL OUT OF LOCK

[Jerry Volpe <kg6tt@tomorrowsweb.com>]

Well the dreaded PLL OUT OF LOCK fault has struck!

My Google search showed three recomendations.

1) See if the small variable resistor is out of adjustment on the Major 
Loop Board. This did not work.

2. Resolder ALL the solder trace connections on the Minor and Major Loop 
boards. It was recommeded that I remove the existing solder first. Many 
hours later, after careful comparisons to board image in manual (I had 
to scan it, enlarge it and flip it to see from the back). Checking 
redoing, checking and redoing.... No go.

3) Send it to Ten-Tec. Ouch, In 30 plus years of owning Ten-Tec 
equipment I've always been able to fix it myself. :(

The problem is on all frequency ranges.

This Paragon has the original Major Loop board.

Any constructive suggestions?
