David, I built mine a year ago Christmas for 40/30/20. I really like it a lot and have been happy with the band choice. I'd advise against trying to mod...
Some variables: 1. What kind of operating do you want to do? If you want to do contest-type operation (either the big ones, or the smaller QRP events) you need...
