Using the data set from T-120 to T+182 sec from recent telemetry downlinks,
we report further analysis of BAT GRB 080702A (trigger #315710)
(De Pasquale, et al., GCN Circ. 7920).  The BAT ground-calculated position is
RA, Dec = 313.049, 72.278 deg, which is 
   RA(J2000)  =  20h 52m 11.8s 
   Dec(J2000) = +72d 16' 39.7" 
with an uncertainty of 3.0 arcmin, (radius, sys+stat, 90% containment).
The partial coding was 81%.
 
The mask-weighted light curve shows a weak single spike.
T90 (15-350 keV) is 0.5 +- 0.2 sec (estimated error including systematics).
 
The time-averaged spectrum from T-0.0 to T+0.5 sec is best fit by a simple
power-law model.  The power law index of the time-averaged spectrum is
1.34 +- 0.42.  The fluence in the 15-150 keV band is 3.6 +- 1.0 x 10^-8 erg/cm2.
The 1-sec peak photon flux measured from T-0.22 sec in the 15-150 keV band
is 0.7 +- 0.2 ph/cm2/sec.  All the quoted errors are at the 90% confidence
level.
