People usually don't post successful config updates, this might affect the number of related posts.
Had enabled it before, it's working as of 1.0.4.28, and currently on a early access version (for some other bugfixes) - also on Europe regulatory settings Possible dependency might be on the channel setting - not sure if the second one does show up without the secondary VT80 enabled however:

Thanks for taking an interest in my problem I appreciate it! :smileyhappy:
Good to know that its not apparently a FW issue.
In other posts I have noticed that it may be a channel selection issue that prevents me from enabling it, but unlike you, I'm for some reason unable to select 2 DFS channels - If I select a non-DFS channnel as the primary, the dropdown menu for the secondary VHT80 channel only shows DFS channels, and vice versa - if a DFS is selected as a primary channel, only non-DFS channels can be selected for the secondary.
I have however not tried with those 2 specific channels, so I'll give that a go this evening - and report back! (But i suspect the same issue will occur, that I'm not able to select 2 DFS channels)
cheers
