I use Top Ten units here ... similar to W2UP's setup.

Before I went with the autoswitching, this is what I used:
RIG A 160 40 15
RIG B 80 20 10
The above would be much more useful to you, and you can
add a simple dipole perhaps to supplement your present
antenna options there. Any antenna, as a rule, is better than
NO antenna ...
> Also, what works better, stubs or filters?
Yes ... ! :-)
Each rig here has it's own Dunestar 600 AND for the lower bands,
stubs have been added. The weak link here is the use of the tribander
stacks. With monobanders I would suspect the "crud" would be less.
Stubs as a rule are cheaper to make and easier to use, IF you are
using band dedicated antennas (say a 20m dipole), when you go
with multiband antennas, then the switching needs some thought.
