Hello Dave,
The chip is providing divide by 16. You will need a more complex arrangement
to divide an 8 MHz oscillator output to get 7 to 7.3 MHz, perhaps even
choose a different chip that works at 30 MHz, and divide by 4. The RF
amplifier is being fed essentially square-wave pulses. So, it relies on high
Q in the PA to attenuate the predictable output from square waves - all the
odd harmonics. I have no idea whether the active devices there will work at
7 MHz; you'ld need to check that.

Yes, this is boatanchor related. I promise.
Hello Smarter-Than-Me-People:
Take a look at this Class D 630 Meter transmitter:

If I scale all the parts at RF in the Drain circuit
by matching reactances (assuming IR factors are not
material), can I make this transmitter work on 40 Meters?
Thanks,
Dave S.
