SOLVED Paragon Mini Resistor Question

Route14

Well-known member
I'm building the Paragon Mini and noticed a difference between the build doc and the screen print on PCB. What is listed as R3 and R20 on the build doc shows 1K (or 100K for High Gain). What is screen printed on the board is 10K. Now I believe the recommendation is to follow the screen print if there is a discrepancy but if that's the case what value(s) would I update for High Gain? My guess is R9 and R25 but wanted to ask if anyone knew. Or if I'm totally reading this wrong.

I'm not versed at reading schematics but I tried to compare the Paragon and Paragon Mini schematics and the same discrepancy is on the schematic. R3 and R20 show 1/100K on the mini.

I also searched the forms but didn't see any mention of this potential issue. Apologies if it was already covered.

Any advice appreciated!
 
The value printed on your board (10K) is what has been used in PoT / KoT builds for years.

More recently a KoT was retraced and different values were found in those positions. This is one of the rare situations where you should follow the build docs instead of the value printed on the board.
 
Ok, thanks for the quick follow up. It looks like the only changes are R3 and R20 for the new values of 1K or 100K and 22n for C1 and C12.

Thanks again.
