Greg,

Try the wide range first.  If it turns out to tune too fast for you, it 
is a relatively easy matter to swap the capacitor and the crystal for 
the 30 meter band for the narrow range later.

Think of it as a 2 component change (only one if you do not have 30 
meter coverage).
You may have to tweak the windings on L1 and change the CAL OPF menu 
parameter on 30 meters due to the crystal change, but that is all there 
is to switching VFO ranges.

73,
