Looking for information from folks who have built the 40 meter (or other T-Kit) 
transceiver.  I just picked one up used and it seems to work just fine, but I 
need to change the frequency coverage.

The coverage seems to start around 6.980 and goes to about 7.060.  I would like 
to change the range to something that starts around 7.025 and goes up from 
there.  I find the alignment details to only reference procedures to be done 
while the kit is being built.  Anyone have alignment procedures to an already 
built kit?

The other thing I noticed when I ventured inside the unit, is that removing the 
cover changes the received frequency range (did not check to see if it also 
varied the transmit frequency range, but I suspect it does).  I could change 
the range by raising and lowering the units cover almost like I was tuning the 
rig.  Is that normal?  If it is, how do you align it when the cover is off?  
Very puzzling.  Thanks for the help that anyone can provide.

Regards,
