I would think 6 thru 70 cm would be better. You can also do scatter and au on 
222.

You're talking a big package here

You're talking a really big package here

Personally, I don't think it would sell. Based on the price of the 736 I 
would guess that the base price would have to be around 2500 to 3000 for the 
"starter". For that kind of money you can do pretty well with transverters.
