The Paragon II is different from the original Paragon. The original Paragon
uses a different front end for the segment below the BC band while the
Paragon II uses the same front end for 100 KHz to 1.7 MHz. Yes the Paragon
II does not hear as well below the BC band as the original Paragon.
Nope, Tentec radios overall have excellent receiver performance.

Subject: [TenTec] paragon II performance on longwave band??
i love this radio, but i have found one negative with the paragon and that
is LW reception. i sometimes like to listen to the NDB's (navigational
beacons) below the broadcast band, but the paragon II is pretty deaf down
here. is this consistant with ten tec radios? do they supress reception
down in this area? i compared this radio with my icom r75 on LW and there
is no comparison. Medium wave is actually pretty good on the paragon II
with good rejection.
