(The Malta 40 is a superhet QSK transceiver described for 7mhz in SPRAT NR 78)
                         
(1) THE VFO:
    ========
Frequencies of 3760 to 3860 KHZ.

Replacing the variable capacitor of 50pF in series with the fixed 
capacitor of 39pF by a variable capacitor of 20pF covers 100KHZ linearly.

C44:270pF in the place of 330pF

(2) THE RECEIVER:
    =============
C1:47pF in place of 220pF
crystal filter:C8,C12:330pF
               C9,C11:470pF
               C10:560pF
               R5:270R in place of 390R
L4:55 turns on T50/2
WARNING....return C32 ....WARNING

(3) THE TX:
    ======
L11:55 turns on T50/2
L6:10 turns +  10 turns; link 2 turns on T37/2
   bifilar with center tap
L7:10 turns + 10 turns; link 2 turns on T37/2
   tap taken cold side
R36:39R to the place of 47R
L9,L10:12 turns on T37/2
C69,C70,C71,C72:220pF to the place of 390pF
crystal:10240KHZ

It functions terrific well.
I would welcome any comments or suggestions.
