Stan,

You have posted this before, and the simple answer is again, it is not going
to work.

This is not about adding a new band in between two existing ranges, like 60m
was added.

This is about a range that is outside of what the MP platform was ever
considered to support.

HINT: Think how big/different the coils and such are for 160m antennas than
for 80m ... now do the same comparison for this proposed range verses say
160m, this is a MAJOR difference. 

How are the TX PA circuits, much less the RF amps in the RX going to be able
to function so far outside of the range they were designed for? Not very
well.

In reality, a transverter is going to be the only practical option to
operate with your existing MP.

Not the answer you were looking for, as to there being some simple secret
solution, this is reality.
