In my opinion you don't want to burden the radio with this.
The preferred way is to use any contesting program for logging and set
it up to be a single band operation.
Trying to make the radio so "smart" that it compensates for operator
error is inappropriate.
The op makes a mistake, tough. Perhaps he will learn from it and move on.

I am afraid this will lead us to need a reminder function to alert the
operator to possibly lock bands. This will only sound when the date coincides
with a contest. Then we will need another facility to select only the contests
we need to be reminded of so we can possibly lock the band change. Then we
will need a reminder for where we left the manual since we will have forgotten
how to do it.

I thought of another feature to help fix the stupid user issue. How
about a lock that doesn't allow a band change. Such as a special way to
use the lock button that doesn't lock one out from QSYing but doesn't
allow them to move off of say 40 meters. We had a death to a band pass
filter cause some one turned their equipment over to a new ham on
another one of the stations and a feature that locks from going to
another band could have prevented that. Also would be useful for when
you don't have the tuner nor an external and your antenna is only good
on one band.
