[AMRadio] BTA Mods

[Rick Brashear]

Steve,

That could very well be true.  When I receive the schematic I'll know 
more about exactly what the work is all about.  There are very few 
differences between the BTA models circuit wise, but it seems the 
oscillator is one of them.  The BTA-1R1 uses 4PDT  AC relays to switch 
the crystal frequency and the R2 I have uses DPDT reversing latch relays 
with DC coils.  I'm not sure exactly what else is different, but I have 
found some of the edge connections to be different.

Thanks for the insight.

73,
Rick/K5IZ
