I understood that there was some inter-band dependency, but I had not considered that the 4 band module could be made to 3 bands this way. That would be good news; the 80-40-30 combination is likely the most frequently used configuration I would need. I looked at the 4-band module and many of it's components are very small, but perhaps the PC board layout still could be adapted by using the space freed from the adjacent unused band? Would the unit need software changes so it would expect this behavior in the software?

Sorry, excuse
I hit the wrong button.

Swiss Hams always need 80m due to their yearly traditional National Mountain

I could help some of them with an easy to do mod of the standard 4 Band
modul. The problem is, you can only use 2 neighbour bands per section an not harmonic bands without changing of bandmodules. If you use the first section
for 80 meter, you can use the second section for 40/30 Meter.
