I wanted 80/40 on the same board as this will be the combo I use at
home the most.  I have a dual band 33' tall vertical in the center of
the yard that works real well on 80 and 40.

Yup, I knew of this.  This is why I came up with the combos I did.
80/40 because of the antenna above.  20/15 when I head to the woods as
antennas for these bands are much easier to carry and deploy.  30/17
for when there's a major contest with all the kilowatts hogging up the
other bands.

Are there any gotchas with the 160 configuration as it stands now?

Thanks
