[BC] The Bauer 707

[Chip Fetrow]

I recently gave one to a ham.

I spoke to the wonderful Paul Greg about it before I gave it away
(offering it to him first).  He told me it is EASY to but it on 160
Meters, and almost as easy to put it on 80/75 Meters.

40 meters is POSSIBLE, but it takes moving components around, not to
mentioning changing values.  Anything higher is likely going to
require redesign of the transmitter.  Then again, I have no first
hand experience.  It will be easier than the SX-1 we gave away. <GGG>

7 MHz is pretty easy, 30 (mc) MHz is gong to go beyond the original
design -- FROM WHAT I HAVE BEEN TOLD!  I would love to have one in my
basement so I could answer this directly, but it was too far away.
