Tony,

If you have an unmodified unit the mods to get it on 222 are not too  
bad.  There is lots of info on the web.  Start with the NEWS/WZ1V  
sites and the Packrats site.
I do occasionally see fully modified ones for sale.

They do not have any relays.  You must do all the t/r switching and if  
you have a preamp I highly recommend adding a sequencer as well.
