I have an Alpha Delta DX-LB Plus antenna. This is a 160, 80, 40, 20, 15, 10M
fan antenna with loading coils for 160 and 80M. It is only 100 ft long. I
have it up 60 ft as an inverted Vee. I recently bought an MFJ-998
IntelliTuner. The tuner can't match the entire 160M band. Should it be able
to?

Would I be better off with a separate 160 antenna? I'm on a 111 x 60 ft lot
with an 80 ft tower and two tall trees. What would be my best bet for 160M.

Figure out a way to excite the 80' tower.
