So Adrian,

How do you adjust the VFO bandswitch to do that and then get to 11 
meters? <evil grin>.

I had a part behind a shield go up in smoke but I was using the 160 
meter VFO through 40 meters, too. No problems. I'll be tearing the VFO 
down for TLC when I disassemble to repair the smoke damage. I have 
other, higher priority things queued up on the bench right now.
