I was thinking of bidding on one of these rigs. Looking at the
QST review of some years ago, I notice that the WARC bands were
receive-only. Can anybody tell me if this is changeable by means
of a link or diode change?
Any other comments on this rig would be appreciated.

There is a wire you have to snip on the left side of the radio.
Brown in color if I remember right...

At least some 740's were delivered WARC ready (mine was).
The 740 is a terific rig. With the proper filters (FL44 SSB and 250Hz
cw, FL53, I think) they will stand with the best, even today. Before
you ask, I believe the "A" versions of the filters are backward
compatible. They're shorter, but otherwise the same, I think. Someone
may wish to comment on this.
