Bill,
Not only are the driven element traps different, but the TH7 has a
totally different feed system for the driven elements. There are other
element changes too.
Hy-Gain used to package a TH6 -> TH7 conversion kit; I don't know if MFJ
has continued this. At any rate, you should be able to buy the
individual parts for the elements and feed system. I think it would be
worth the money; the conversion turns a good antenna into an outstanding
one (I know, I've done it).
regards,
