The K2, K1 and KX1 have never had any form of out of band notification and it has never been an issue with them. Like the wrong VFO problem it is just a matter of taking care what you do. OK, we all make mistakes at times, and in the worst case you might accidentally transmit out of band. Can't remember ever doing so myself, although some people I call are incredibly close to the band edge... To try and cope with international differences in amateur bands must be a nightmare. We recently got the extended 40m band, no problem with the K2 but many other rigs from other manufacturers sold in the UK needed modding to cover it. 60m on the K2 is broadbanded and not restricted to the (useless for us) USA channels. Not to mention we are not allowed to go below 1810khz... 73 Dave G3YMC http://www.davesergeant.com ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
