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.

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.
