More bands? I almost never work QRP above 20 meters and putting up a decent
portable antenna on 80 or 160 is a bit of a challenge. Besides, the laws of
physics would require a much larger case to contain an ATU with the range of
inductances needed to tune 80 meters. I'd rather have it small with a
built-in ATU covering the three bands I work 95% of the time anyway -
40-30-20 meters. It does that FB.

Although it would be hard to argue with the statement about 80 and 160, I
think that I would miss 15 meters in the field. The value of the rig might
double for some if this rig went all the way to 10 meters. Inclusive
coverage not necessary of course.
I wonder if at least a 15 meter option might show up in the future?
