If you are tying to troubleshoot the PLL in a Paragon I then a freq counter should see 2.1 MHZ exactly on Pin #1 minor and major loop boards. Pin #8 from the VCO's is a different story and this video show typical frequency values from a working Ten Tec Paragon I.
Pin 8 is the frequency from the VCO running and in some cases this frequency has been divided or mixed on the reference board.
Due to dynamic division in the PLL chip sent in serially from the microprocessor this frequency going in in pin #8 really varies and is never ecactly equal at least on the outside to 2.1 hmx on Pin #1

Ah thanks. And yet the best knowledge was the engineers at Ten Tec who designed all this stuff in the first place. I just piece it together with parts swaping and guess work and I try to leave a bread crumb trail to help those who may follow this path. Probably YEARS later someone will discover this video and need to know this stuff. Ten Tec outlines HOW this stuff works in their service manual for the Paragon. Reading the manual about the PLL and VCO I do admit is it is very complex and I do not totally understand it and do not understand WHY it was so complicated. What is interesting is the PLL chips on the minor and major loop boards are similar circuits somewhat. I almost destroyed the VCO oscillator on the minor loop trying to remove the metal cover on it. I am just GLAD I got it working now and just put the bottom cover onto the minor loop board - ( it is a shield cover ), soldered that on and closed up the rig over those three boards. Closed the tomb and may they rest in there ( and of course operate and do the PLL thing ) in peace....
