From time to time the display on my Paragon II goes blank (I think
the VFO A light is still on). At that time, the audio still works - I
can still hear the station I was listening to - but the tuning dial
has no effect - like it has gone into "lock" mode and blanked the
display. Everything is fine once I restart.
I do have other rigs about and a computer, but I am not transmitting
on another rig when this happens. Is this a sign of more problems to
come? Is it a major problem to fix it?
The PS, model 961, has a low hum. Hardly noticeable when computer
fans are on - but clearly louder than the 937 and a small Samlex I
have. Is that normal for that vintage technology or can replacing
some parts quiet it down to "silent" level.
Thanks and 73,
Paul
